Jeff Skinner, 34, signs with Swiss club EHCB after 16 NHL seasons3 sources

Jeff Skinner, a 16-year NHL veteran and former Buffalo Sabres winger, signed a one-year deal with HC Biel-Bienne in Switzerland on Friday, August 14, 2026. San Jose had terminated Skinner’s contract last February, and he did not secure an NHL deal afterward. Rather than accepting a professional tryout at an NHL training camp, he chose the Swiss option. Skinner had previously signed an eight-year, $72 million contract in 2019, a deal that followed a season in which he scored 40 goals.
