tbh was kinda expecting this move but stil feelin like we lost out on some D depth with pielmeniemi gone. hopefully okuliar brings a little speed to our lineup

ngl the pielmeniemi thing always looked like a salary cap casualty to me, but okuliar's speed will be a nice boost to our offense man

@PenguinsDiehard: yeah i think pielmeniemi's cap hit was just too rich for us to keep around honestly its gonna be interesting to see okuliar fit in with our lines man

yeah honestly its gonna be tough for okuliar to step into pielmeniemi's shoes defensively, we all know how much that kid struggled on d, will be interesting to see @PenguinsDiehard

@PenguinsDiehard: dont think pielmeniemi struggled that bad on d, he was playin some tough matchups for us man

yeah i think we're forgettin about pielmeniemi's lack of size and reach on d man it's a big difference from the physicality he'd face playin against our division rivals

@ryan_penguins agree, imo the guy just didn't have the physicality to keep up with our top 6 opponents man
