The Edmonton Oilers are sitting left winger Jeff Skinner as a healthy scratch again, highlighting his difficulties in what appears to be his only season with the team. With just seven goals and 15 points in 40 games, Skinner's average ice time has dwindled to 12:36, which is significantly lower than his previous career averages. The one-year, $3-million contract now appears to be a misstep for the organization.

Despite his struggles, Skinner could attract interest from other NHL teams in need of a scoring winger. The Buffalo Sabres, who previously bought out his contract, might see a reunion as beneficial as they aim for a playoff spot. They have the cap space to accommodate his $3-million salary for the remainder of the season.
