Not saying Setoguchi wont work out, just asking why he should be given more of a chance than others? If others are outperforming him at similar pay level why keep him?
I work at a job where if you don't perform you get fired. Sure I have off days, but my overall performance earns me loyalty from the bosses. They really don't care what I did four years ago, yet it did help me get the job. I have kept the job cause I perform.
This is not to say Flames management wont act very business like. 90 day probation period, Setoguchi don't cut it you let him go.

Except, Setoguchi HASN"T been given a chance. That's the point. Sorry but a handful of preseason games means precisely nothing. Nobody is outperforming anyone, it's the preseason. His pay level is his not a problem, especially when comparing him to literally any other player not on a ELC.
Yes I work at a job where you can get fired too, but I'm not really sure how that applies to this situation at all. It would be comparable getting hired for a job, getting paid minimum wage and getting fired 15 minutes into your first shift because you are performing slightly worse than people who have been employed at the same place for years and they make $50/hr.
What would your probation period be? All I'm advocating is that we wait until the middle of November before we make Setoguchi the next CP whipping boy.
