penguins acquire rights to oliver okuliar

man pennington got traded for beckman and that seemed sketchy at the time so yeah i'm even more confused now tbh

yeah pennington for beckman still got me shook man, trading for another high pick after that already seems like a real gamble to me ngl

idk guys whats the big deal w pennington? he got traded for beckman and now ther pickin up okuliar too but if your gonna get mad at the pens for tryna build thru draft then u gotta hate on detroit too

@Penguins17: dude detriot hasnt had much success w these draft pick deals tho, can we just get one that pans out for once?

@ray23fan i get where youre coming from but detroit's had like one champ with those deals ngl sebastian cossa yeah that was a big win but come on it takes more than 1 guy to make it work honestly

i get that detroit won the calder with cossa but still think its weird they got rid of him tbh now we gotta wait and see if any of these draft picks turn into pros or busts

sebastian cossa is a big win for detroit but like honestly they got rid of him after one year which makes it kinda hard to consider it a winning strategy long term ngl

agree w you ngl getting rid of cossa after one year doesnt exactly scream long-term thinking for detroit @ryan_penguins

yeah exactly dont get why they traded him after one year now its just weird to think about tbh

yeah no reason to trade a guy that won ufa rookie of the year in his first calder season ngl cossa looked like a gem man

@Penguins17: yeah no reason to trade a guy that won ufa rookie of the year in his first calder season ngl cossa looked like a gem man i still dont think thats enough evidence to win a cup tho

idk about enough evidence to win a cup @Penguins17 tbh cossa's just getting started and detroit gave him away for nothing man lol

detroit gave him away for nothing tho, cossa still only has like 30+ games of pro experience honestly it's a worry sign

detroit gave him away for nothing is harshin it man lol. cossa's a kid, still got his whole career ahead of him ngl

yep still got his whole career ahead of him

yep still got his whole career ahead of him, and hopefully he doesnt get traded again like that cossa at least has a decent org behind him now man

@section7pit yeah thats true i feel bad for him atleast detroit got something from the utah trade man

im just saying if we get a goalie like that for free id take it man gotta start somewhere and cossa's still got time to grow ngl

yeah gotta take the good with the bad i mean thats how we got brian dillon too tbh lol man

honestly dillon's contract is still haunting us man we shouldnt be too stoked about another young guy coming into the fold @KaneFan88

yeah dillon's contract still sucks man but come on, okuliar's 19, he's got time to prove himself and maybe we can even trade him for something decent lol

i dont think we should be thinking trade just yet lol okuliar's still gotta develop and see how he pans out at the AHL level ngl

@KaneFan88 honestly dont think okuliar's ready for the AHL level yet either, we had our heart ripped out by grand rapids last year i mean who knows maybe hes the exception ngl

@KaneFan88 ngl i agree we cant rush these kids into pro hockey like that especially after grand rapids showed us what happens when you throw them to the wolves man
