I see it as a good one year investment and not much else. The Flames have cap space, money, and contract spots; meanwhile, Setoguchi brings one huge question mark with him.
Potential answers-
1. He has a similar season, or worse than last year's season
-This will either end in a 4th-7th round pick, waivers or him sitting as the 13th forward.
2.He has a good season so either
-this might get the Flames something at the deadline(I doubt it will be higher than a 3rd round judging by this year).
-He will play out the season and leave.
-The Flames sign a tested player for a few more seasons.
I am just curious if the Flames still plan on having a distinct top 6 and bottom 6(As was discussed by Burke a while back). If so I am curious which one of our forwards fits where, especially if Setoguchi has a good season.
PS:I have no idea what is the right way to develop a prospect, therefore I can't complain about anything this team does to "take away opportunity" from our prospects.
