The San Jose Sharks placed forward Jeff Skinner on waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract.
Skinner will be free to sign with any team once he clears waivers and the termination is complete.
The Sharks signed Skinner to a one-year, $3-million contract as a free agent in the summer, but he's failed to produce as expected, tallying six goals and seven assists in 32 games.
