The San Jose Sharks signed former Oilers winger Jeff Skinner to a one-year, $3 million deal, officially ending a brief and lackluster stint in Edmonton.

The Sharks continued a dizzying two-week period by trading defenseman Henry Thrun to the Toronto Maple Leafs for enforcer Ryan Reaves on Thursday night and signing fellow forward Jeff Skinner to a one-year, $3 million contract on Friday.

The San Jose Sharks scratched off, perhaps, the last item on their offseason to-do list when they signed forward Jeff Skinner to a one-year, $3 million contract on Friday.

It’s amazing what a difference a year makes. When Jeff Skinner signed a one-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers on July 1, 2024, hopes were high for the veteran forward, who had scored 30 or more goals six times in his career.
