Edmonton Oilers' Jeff Skinner: A Valuable Asset for Other NHL Teams
The Edmonton Oilers have made left winger Jeff Skinner a healthy scratch once again, highlighting his struggles in his first year with the organization.
Skinner, 32, has scored only seven goals and 15 points in 40 games, with his average ice time decreasing to 12:36 this season.
Despite his poor performance with the Oilers, Skinner could still be a valuable asset for other NHL teams willing to give him a bigger role.
Signing him to a one-year, $3-million contract now seems like a mistake.
