I think they're looking at the fact that Setoguchi has a history of scoring in this league, whereas Jooris does not. Goal scoring = biggest concern for Treliving.
I think they want to give Seto some regular season time to see if he can regain any semblance of his former self. If he becomes extra baggage then you can bet a kid will come up to take his place. And I think they got a good enough look at Jooris to know that he can be one of those guys when/if that time comes.
It makes sense to me.
