Edmonton Oilers' Jeff Skinner: A Healthy Scratch
The Edmonton Oilers have made left winger Jeff Skinner a healthy scratch, highlighting his struggles in his first year with the organization.
Skinner, 32, has scored only 7 goals and 15 points in 40 games, with an average ice time of 12:36, which is significantly lower than his usual playing time.
His signing to a one-year, $3-million contract now seems like a mistake, as he has been a poor fit with Edmonton.
Adam Proteau thinks four other NHL teams could give Skinner a bigger role than what he's getting currently.
Despite his struggles with the Oilers, Skinner could still be an asset to other NHL teams willing to give him more playing time.
Author's summary: Oilers' mistake could be another team's gain.
