BREAKUP: San Jose Sharks Move On—Jeff Skinner Placed on Waivers, What Happens NEXT?

San Jose Sharks move on from veteran forward Jeff Skinner, placing him on unconditional waivers for contract termination. Is this the roster shake-up Mike Grier needed to spark the team before the trade deadline? The fallout could open opportunities for emerging talents like Collin Graf and Igor Chernyshov, while teams hunting for scoring depth may eye Skinner as a valuable addition—are the LA Kings his next stop?

JD Young examines the mutual decision, Skinner’s underwhelming stint (13 points in 32 games), and possible destinations for the 2010 first-round pick. The show covers how roster flexibility positions San Jose for future NCAA free agent signings and trade deadline maneuvering, plus the impact of upcoming returns from injury. Will this move trigger further changes for the Sharks, and how might Skinner’s next chapter reshape playoff hopefuls? Find out the implications for both player and franchise.
