Sharks add ex-Oilers forward on 1-year contract
Briefly

The San Jose Sharks are undergoing a rebuild after two difficult seasons. General manager Mike Grier signed forward Jeff Skinner to a one-year deal worth $3 million, aiming to blend experienced veterans into the roster. Skinner, coming off a disappointing season with the Edmonton Oilers, brings scoring ability and over 1,000 career games of experience. The team's strategy involves increasing the roster's average age and leveraging veteran knowledge to aid young talents like Macklin Celebrini and William Eklund. These moves are part of a long-term plan for the franchise's relevance in the NHL.
General manager Mike Grier is actively trying to speed up the rebuild while also instilling the young players with invaluable wisdom they can use in the future.
