Secondly, Setoguchi playing well doesn't benefit the Flames that much since he's capped out as a 3rd liner. A guy like Poirer, however, has the potential to be a first liner who plays similar to Brad Marchand. The Flames have a bunch of 2nd/3rd liners in Stajan, Jones, Huds, Glenny, etc. and need to create first liners. Don't kid yourself, Setoguchi isn't going to make the Flames better long term, so why not invest in someone who will?

Actually, MOST Flames fans who actually watch the team know that Huds is a natural LW and Colborne has only played RW for half the season. So don't be a snotty ass when there's an easy rebuttal against you.
Secondly, Setoguchi played 1st line just fine on SJ. Which, if you watch hockey, was a much better team than our 2014 roster. Setoguchi has not 'capped' out at 3rd line, he's fallen to 3rd line and is looking to regain his game. Which, was 1st line. And for someone who watches so much hockey, you listed 4 players for the '2nd and 3rd line'. You're aware that there are 6 players on the 2nd and 3rd lines right?
And finally, how is 'investing' (a 1 year low contract isn't 'investing', but I digress) in ONE PLAYER who is TWENTY SEVEN doing anything negative for the kids. The post you quoted me on I stated then that the kids have all opportunity to oust a position from Setoguchi or Jones. Were you just going to ignore that point and state yours over and over again, or do you actually have a point against Setoguchi losing his spot besides "he'll be grumpy"?
Bonus: If you want to be credible yourself, spell Poirier right. Not to mention, he's injured. I wouldn't be penciling in an injured and unproven prospect on the 1st line just yet there slick.
