The veteran winger signed a one-year contract worth $3 million with the Sharks in free agency, the team announced Friday. Skinner, who turned 33 in May, is heading into his 16th NHL season. He posted 29 points (16 goals, 13 assists) in 72 games with the Oilers before spending most of the team's run to the Stanley Cup Final as a healthy scratch.

Jeff Skinner’s addition to the San Jose Sharks provides a veteran presence for the team's roster featuring talented youngsters.
