okuliar traded for pieniniemi

imo pequen looks like a solid pick-up tbh i dunno the whole cost though i saw he had a decent rookie season last year man

Reminds me of the '97 club. Patience was rewarded then and it will be again - I'm inclined to agree with you that Pequen brings some spark, still think Okuliar's presence was felt in more ways than just his production.

@OldTimeHockeyOtto yeah but okuliar was more than just his stats he brought that puck possession thing that the other guys were struggling with, think thats gonna be tough to replace

nlg okuliar's puck possession thing was a big deal, but i think @tony_panthers might be right tho it wasn't just about the stats, seems like that was one of his biggest contributions man

@PanthersFaithful exactly right, that's what i'm saying, okuliar brought something more than just stats and we lost him for pequen, i dont see how thats an upgrade honestly man

i know whats missing from that lineup now, its a pp specialist they had a good system with okuliar out there but pequen dont seem like he can bring the same kinda firepower on teh manadvantage

@andy_v no kidding right? pequen cant even get into the zone let alone fire up the pp like okuliar did

@tony_panthers yea but i think its alot easier to find a pp specialist in fa than it is to replicate okuliar's overall game, dont get me wrong though thats gotta be priority now

@sam_t87 dont get me wrong either but like @tony_panthers said we lost something thats not easy to replace, its gotta be priority now man

@Panthers2 told you so 😂🐙 we need a winger who can put pucks in 🚨💀

@sam_t87 i think he meant we need a winger who can put pucks IN THE NET, not just slap em in for fun lol

@nbrennan lol dont be harsh sam_t87 was trying to make a point, we need that 3rd line goal scorer ngl

@PanthersFaithful lol yeah that 3rd line goal scorer, still no idea who we got to give us that though

im with u man, still nothin confirmed on who we got to fill that 3rd line goal scorer role honestly @PanthersFaithful was right, we do need one
