Oilers sign top goalscorer from past decade

The Edmonton Oilers made a splash in free agency by signing former Sabres forward Jeff Skinner to a one-year deal, locking down one of the league's top goal scorers in the last decade.

The team announced the signing, with Skinner inking a one-year, $3 million contract.

Skinner has consistently been one of the top 5-on-5 goal scorers over the last decade. Since 2010, only Alex Ovechkin has more 5-on-5 goals than Skinner.

Skinner shared why he chose to join the Oilers over other suitors like the Toronto Maple Leafs, following his buyout by the Buffalo Sabres. His primary motive is he wants to finally have a chance to participate in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Interestingly, the team's starting goaltender next season is expected to be Stuart Skinner, but the two Skinners are not related.

With another sniper in the mix, the Oilers' offense looks poised to be deadly next season.

If he can bounce back, who knows how many goals he could net playing alongside superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl?
