SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks continued their busy offseason Friday by signing veteran forward Jeff Skinner to a one-year, $3 million contract.
Skinner, 33, had 29 points (16 goals, 13 assists) in 72 games with the Edmonton Oilers this past season as he made the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in his career. Skinner became a free agent on July 1, just weeks after the Oilers lost the Cup final to the Florida Panthers in six games.
Skinner, a 15-year NHL veteran, has 699 points in 1,078 career NHL games, with stops in Carolina, Buffalo, and Edmonton.
Since July 1, the Sharks have added forwards Skinner, Adam Gaudette, Philipp Kurashev, and Ryan Reaves, defensemen Dmitry Orlov, John Klingberg, and Nick Leddy, and goalie Alex Nedeljkovic. Reaves was acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night for defenseman Henry Thrun.
