The tweet I read just said they re-assigned him to COL. I didn't see the part where he was released from the PTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conundrumed Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I was good with the Setoguchi signing, but he simply isn't good enough. At best, he looks like an average AHLer. It'll be interesting to see how he does in the AHL. I'm still of the mind we should have released him and spared him the embarrassment. He simply looks like he doesn't have the fortitude of the young guys that NEED to prove themselves for their hockey-playing survival. Once upon a time he earned it. Sadly, he doesn't anymore. I'll give Treliving the pardon, he couldn't have known just how hungry the prospects are. They are eating everything with gusto! With how the prospects are playing, I can't see any of our vets in the forward ranks, outside of Hudler, not thinking, "oh mary mother of jesus, let's hit it out of the park".

cfreining Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I don't think BT made a mistake with Seto. There was nothing he could lose! He was a security blanket, if our prospects aren't ready, what they are, so he coul keep the pressbox warm or jump in, in case of an injury. He never took avay a spot of a prospect, they showed motivation and confidence to keep their spot. If he would have been as motivated, he would have been a great addition.

rocketdoctor Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 If you watch BT vid clip on this they say they have no problem with his effort at all. That echos what Hartley has been saying about practices. So I hope he goes to the AHL finds his mojo and comes back and proves us all wrong.

You can't release players from contracts. Otherwise I am sure the Flames would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toppolzer Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 So far Seto is a point-per-game player with Addy. He's 1-1-2 in 2 GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerfan52 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 So far Seto is a point-per-game player with Addy. He's 1-1-2 in 2 GP So he's found his level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC923 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Wouldn't be shocked to see him back sometime this year. He could find a real groove in the AHL, get some confidence back and maybe contribute at the NHL level. Would actually be pretty nice to see him back after the new year looking like a rejuvinated man. Maybe we could even trade him at the TDL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kehatch Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Kotalik and Dawes were both point per game players when sent down. I would expect Setoguchi to out up points. He might be called up. The Flames seemed to like his attitude. But I personally hope the kids never give him the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zirakzigil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 If he keeps up a decent scoring rate in the AHL he could get moved really cheap at the deadline as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordxan Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I hope this puts an end to the washed up experiments in Cgy, Seto is done. He had his days of being a "hot" comodity but the past few years he has come back down to earth and is where he should have been. Sorry, but this team and fans need to let go of sediments and do what is right for business, in this case Setto's time has come in Cgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could consider an undrafted player an experiment - we have two that are performing admirably: Gio and Jooris. What's key with an experiment is to know when to end it.

Kulstad Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Unless that's his natural "resting face", he has the look of a man who's taking a brutal mental beating, whether it's justified or not, self-inflicted or not, or self-induced or not. Some of the questions (was that Krysten Hallett asking some of them?) almost seemed loaded...like the were attempting to lead/bait him on to say something they could pounce on. I truly hope he finds his game, or comes to accept that perhaps he's better served doing something else. I hate seeing someone caught in-between like that.

It's not Kirstin Hallett as that interview was after recent Adirondack game on 2 Dec I think. I agree with your sentiment - he looks mentally shot to me as well.

420since1974 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I agree, he looks so sad and bereft of hope. Both Hartley and Trevling say he works as hard as anyone in the organization. I'm really wondering if something terrible has happened to him in his personal life. I'm not a fan of his, but truly hope that he somehow works things out for the better.

Khrox Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 While I wasn't his biggest fan, it does hurt a little bit to see him like that. I agree it looked like he was a defeated man. And while he wasn't a big factor to start the season, I actually do hope that he gets his groove back in the AHL and can come up and be the player he has shown flashes of in the last few years. As much as the first experiment has failed so far, perhaps if you change the parameters (confidence gained, allow him to mentally rebuild/buy into the system, chance to be a veteran leader with a lot of young guys who aren't established yet) the overall project can still succeed. If the Flames make it to the playoffs I would much rather have a Seto who is playing to his potential available to us (assuming he doesn't get traded) than not have him.
