IMO Setoguchi has nearly been given enough of a tryout. The team is nearly at the quarter-season mark. Setoguchi has dressed for more than half the games. He's been outplayed by rookies and call-ups. I don't think he needs more time or we need to asses things more as a team. He's simply been passed on the depth chart by other players who didn't start the season on the roster.
A veteran winger who's playing a limited role for close to league minimum isn't a huge issue either way. But I hope he's waived to make permanent room for the others who have contributed more.
