This is it completely for me.
Setogichi, coming off of an 11 goal, 27 point season, hadn't earned the right to be a guy who had to be pushed out by a younger player significantly outperforming him. He should have been trying out with every other bubble player, having to earn a spot on the roster.
He did nothing in the entire preseason, earned nothing, but is still here.
Could he be waived next week? Sure. But if you're going to do that, why wait and force another guy (Baertschi or someone else) to go through the trauma of getting cut?
