Jeff Skinner signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the San Jose Sharks following a lackluster season with the Edmonton Oilers, where he had limited ice time and production. The Sharks hope Skinner can enhance their offense, having finished last season as the lowest-scoring team in the NHL. As a seasoned player with over 373 career goals, Skinner seeks to prove he can still contribute significantly. Previously bought out by the Buffalo Sabres, he aims to revive his career and make an impact with the Sharks.
I think every player feels that need to prove themselves and prove they can contribute. I'm no exception to that.
After scoring 191 points, including 92 goals, in his final 232 games with the Sabres, Skinner played well near the end of the season, but still had just 16 goals and 29 points in 72 regular-season games and two points in five playoff games with the Oilers.
