For us to be a better team and win more games and be more competitive I think is definitely going to help the growth of these young guys and something that was important for us to try and help them out with.”
The signing of Skinner, a veteran of 15 NHL seasons with 699 points (373 goals, 326 assists) in 1,078 regular-season games, followed a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs for forward Ryan Reaves on Thursday. Skinner, who will likely play on the first or second line, and Reaves, who will likely play on the fourth line, join a strengthened forward group that previously added Adam Gaudette (two-year, $4 million contract) and Philipp Kurashev (one-year, $1.2 million contract).
