Sharks Waive Skinner to End Contract
The Sharks drop a bombshell by placing veteran winger Jeff Skinner on unconditional waivers Monday, aiming straight for contract termination with the Olympic break freezing any trade chatter. Skinner, who inked a one-year, $3 million deal last summer hoping to spark San Jose's lineup, has managed just six goals in 32 games while sitting as a healthy scratch for the last 10 outings.
