He didn't.
I hope Treliving can admit that he made a mistake in offering a contract to him and he fixes the problem soon, thus allowing more deserving rookies to take his spot.

A player in his early to mid 30's would be a good description for a player on a downhill slide. Seto is only 27 and still has enough years left to bring his talent level back to where it was in San Jose and his first year in Minnesota.
Treliving took a risk on Seto gambling he could ressurect his career. Chances are he may be a bust come mid season, and if that's the case, guys like Sven will be given their opportunity.
I think too much is being made of the opening day roster.
