What happened: The veteran winger is heading to Switzerland on a one-year agreement ahead of the 2026-27 season. His previous NHL contract carried a $3 million value.
Why it matters: The move removes an experienced option from the remaining free-agent pool. The one-year term gives Skinner flexibility again next summer.
By the numbers: Skinner recorded 13 points in 32 games during his final NHL season.
What to watch: His role and debut date in Switzerland are the next markers.
