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
penguins pick up okuliar
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
@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

ngl i think we're being way too soft on pielmeniemi's d play tbh he got exposed a lot more than ppl are giving him credit for man
ngl @ryan_penguins is tellin me somethin i thought everyone else saw but was too polite to mention

@penguins17 honestly think pielmeniemi was solid for a guy we stole him from minnesota for man still dont know how okuliar fits in tho

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
agreed, size mattered against East foes last season lol
yeah no kidding, last season was tough on pielmeniemi and we all saw that man @PenguinsDiehard got some good points goin there imo
