He&#8217;s now free to sign on with any team as an unrestricted free agent. <\/p>\n<p>The 33-year-old has just six goals and 13 points in 32 games with the Sharks this season. A lower-body injury kept him on the shelf for about three weeks from mid-November to early December. <\/p>\n<p>He was been a healthy scratch for three weeks heading up to the Olympic break. He last played on January 11th.<\/p>\n<p>In 16 NHL seasons, Skinner is a 10-time 20-goal scorer, topping out at 40 in the 2018-19 season with the Buffalo Sabres. Overall, he has played 1,110 NHL regular season games, with 379 goals and 712 points. He&#8217;s averaged 16:36 of ice time per game, though that has been plummeting the past few years, and was only averaging 12:21 this season in San Jose. <\/p>\n<p>Photo: \u00a9 Jerome Miron-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0The San Jose Sharks and forward Jeff Skinner have decided to part ways, as\u00a0he has been placed on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":472724,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[77325,385,61536,21071,22358,77324,57292,77323,77322,22151,77321,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-472723","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-hockey-news","9":"tag-nhl","10":"tag-nhl-draft","11":"tag-nhl-free-agency","12":"tag-nhl-news","13":"tag-nhl-playoffs","14":"tag-nhl-rumors","15":"tag-nhl-teams","16":"tag-nhl-trade-deadline","17":"tag-nhl-trade-rumors","18":"tag-nhl-trades","19":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=472723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/472723\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/472724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=472723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=472723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=472723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
