Sharks Axe Skinner's Contract Via Waivers
The San Jose Sharks drop a bomb on veteran forward Jeff Skinner, placing him on unconditional waivers with contract termination in sight. Skinner, who inked a one-year deal last summer hoping to spark a playoff push, has been a healthy scratch lately amid a meager six goals in 36 games. With the Olympic break freezing trades, Grier clears cap space and lets the 33-year-old Calder winner hunt for a new lineup spot where his experience can shine.
