The Edmonton Oilers have signed Jeff Skinner to a 1-year, $3 million contract after he was bought out a couple days ago. Skinner has never made the playoffs in his career, but he hopes to change that now by joining the Stanley Cup contending Oilers. He began his career with the Carolina Hurricanes before signing with the Buffalo Sabres. However, he has yet to experience postseason hockey, enduring a 14-year playoff drought.

But they do have injuries to Gabriel Vilardi and Nikolaj Ehlers. And now, Dylan Samberg is bound to miss time due to leaving the game after blocking a slap shot. Adam […]
