The JT Miller injury is annoying because of everything else that happened this season. We watched the "captain" toil around and barely care, giving the worst postgame quotes and coming dangerously close to blaming fans for booing the Rangers during the Columbus game.

On Monday, news emerged that the San Jose Sharks had placed veteran forward Jeff Skinner on waivers for the purpose of contract termination. The move was mildly surprising considering that Skinner signed a one-year, $3 million contract this season.

The Sharks will likely be looking to move him at the NHL trade deadline.
