RAW | Jeff Skinner 07.02.24

[@Cobras970]

Welcome to The team Jeff Great to have you in Oil Country

[@Randy-cd3lg]

Welcome Jeff , the oilers fan base is happy today!

[@Silviapapi584]

Thank god skinners here and thank god spec was here to ask the exact same question after it was already asked. Quality Journalism👏

[@Greenfrom3]

Doesn't get any better than Spec. Edmonton is lucky to have him. 😅

[@canadablake]

Can’t wait until he really meets Jim “Pissy” Matheson.

[@virpip3461]

quality and Spec don't belong together

[@colinmackay2324]

😂

[@donlloyd2988]

We know talent so welcome to Edmonton. You will have a great time playing here.

[@ehhalexx]

He is a great add because he's gonna be hungry for playoffs and winning a cup so he'll play any role by the end of hte season and has the ability to prob score 30 quite easily still playing with our big boys. At worst he's only a 3M contract we could unload at the deadline if the fit wasn't there. This is an awesome bet for us.

[@Shawzyboy]

From Foegle to My Name JEFF!

[@SugarTay97]

Underrated comment 😂

[@DSMillwright]

From McLovin.....

[@dizawnofwizar]

spec you're such a fluff reporter.. buddy 'you think itll be nice to play with some of the best players in history?' what's next "do you think it'll be nice to play your first playoff game after 1000 regular season games"?

[@Oilers1972]

@@dizawnofwizar , he’s an antagonist for sure, but he’s also an Oilers media legend at this point, he’s been around so long. I wouldn’t call a guy who’s been around since the 80s and has books about this team a fluff reporter.

[@canadablake]

I remember not that long ago, when skilled players wanted nothing to do with the Oil. Now they’re seeking the team out. Warms my heart.

[@trustinrain5623]

Not to long ago???? So like 10-15 years ago lol

[@jg6693]

Welcome Jeff, you made a really smart move. He's going to play playoff hockey and get to play with one of McDavid, Draisaitl and Henrique. That can't be matched.

[@Swttng780]

I’ve been a fan of this guy since he came into the NHL. Welcome to the Oilers Jeff!

[@Weekend658]

I can’t believe they got him for $3M. He’s easily better than any 2nd line player. He’s so quick on the turn. 3 steps and he’s gone…he handles the puck like it’s weightless and wait until you see his slapshot. It doesn’t come at the goalie hard and low… he has such a fast release it almost looks like it’s not coming off his stick… upper corner, upper post. I think he would be deadly on the 1st line but after a 57 goal season by you know who, he deserves a 1st line spot.

[@TiggaTrey]

i can believe it bro was wasting away in buffalo just LIKE KYLE O. and JACK E. they left and won cups 🤷‍♂

[@Angelabarbosadominguez-it4fh]

its Only 1 year tho. 3 millions is big!!! but he can put the Puck in the net

[@ProtagonisTeneT]

WELCOME TO EDMONTON JEFF!!!! Glad you chose Edmonton over Toronto

[@Never-t3]

Pretty stupid questions 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️

[@galacticsunset]

Spector is insufferable lol

[@canadianninja1756]

Spec, meet Skinner. Skinner, meet Spec. Nobody likes Spec.

[@jasonmelendez5216]

I'm excited to have Skinner on board. I always liked him on Buffalo and felt that he never got the support he needed. I hope the Oilers bring the best out of him.

[@ryans413]

Now we have 2 Skinners 2 Connors

[@JOSHUA-ez3yr]

3 Connor’s now lol. Connor Carrick was signed yesterday. 3 Connor’s, 2 Browns & 2 Skinners

[@michaelmcgrath8005]

And 4 Swedes. That’s now the teams second language

[@scottpeterson9958]

Crazy good hands, such a crafty skater in the zone. He's gonna get 40 goals easy. He's a chirper too, gets in opponents heads. Has a great shot. You're gonna love Savoie too. Fast, intense puck hound with a great shot. Oh ya, I'm a Sabres fan. Enjoy.

[@Julie-uq7sz]

Welcome to Oil Country, Jeff! Excited about this next season, pursuing the Cup!!! Let's Go Oilers!!!!

Welcome, Jeff! Looking forward to 40 + 40, and some unexpectedly good defensive play!

[@nomadman123]

Holy mackerel, we’re being completely infiltrated by Torontonians! We need more Swedes! Nah, it’s whomever can bring the heat. Welcome Jeffie!

[@Ukrainadian]

We got Spiderman! 🤟😯🤟

[@puckislife2]

Welcome Jeff!!! Let’s go Oilers!!

Love it! Dude's an awesome player, can't wait!

[@parallelfiftythree]

WELCOME, JEFF!!

[@xanmanmoo9244]

Can't wait to be confused about two Browns and now two Skinners

[@jeeplivion]

Well the Skinners have completely different gear so at least we can find them on the ice 😆

[@canadianninja1756]

Three Connors, and wait is that Sam Carrick? No it’s Connor Carrick.

[@joegrizzly9651]

He will score 35 next year

[@DebbieGlenn-l3r]

Welcome to Oil country Jeff. We are soooo happy you are here ❤❤❤

[@michaelwas8549]

Another X Sabre going to become a superstar just like the last 5 or 6 that now have won Cups.

[@Scottk2022]

@@michaelwas8549 he is literally the worst defensive zone player in NHL history

[@tylergardner2598]

Welcome jeff let's hope we can repeat this past season but hoist the cup this time 🎉

[@suuudo]

There ain’t a star in heaven that we can’t reach with you on the squad, Jeff.

[@spenceramericaboi]

1000 NHL games, none in the playoffs. A worse curse than Perry!

Welcome Jeff! Please consider #47! :)

[@YouCantDeleteDenzelL]

Friendly reminder this guy can figure skate, and he's used it to avoid hits. What a mad talented dude!

[@wayne387]

Stoked for you Skinny. You been my favorite through all the mess. You going to have to step up now and I know you will

[@colbystruble2893]

He's going to have his best career and goal points in EDM

This is getting out of hand… now there are two Skinners on the team.

[@SteriyProductions]

No playoff experience. Terrible grab

[@canadianninja1756]

Consistent 40-50 point scorer on a terrible team for 3mil on a one year contract is an absolute steal. So what if he doesn’t have playoff experience, literally the entire Oiler’s team has Stanley Cup Final experience now. If anything I’d guess Jeff is hungry for a playoff run. And if he doesn’t work out, oh well, it’s only a one year contract.

[@samsquanch67]

@@canadianninja1756agreed! He’ll be pumped knowing playoffs are on the horizon no pressure just playing his game!

Can throw him in on the 4th line if he’s trash.
