Aside from being a RH shot, it looks like the Flames want a guy screening the goalie and trying to tip shots/get garbage goals. Setoguchi hasn't been getting the job done, but looking at who the Flames have utilized thus far in the season and the corresponding sizes, it has either been him (6'4"), Jones (6'2"), Glencross (6'1") or Colborne (6'5"). Unless they want to try Bollig and McGrattan, these are probably the best bets to screen a goalie. With Colborne out, and Jones looking like he is out as well, seems like Seto wins by default.
At this point in time, I am almost willing for the Flames to try Bollig or McGrattan on the 2nd unit PP in that spot (with Glencross on the 1st unit). Neither can probably tip the puck as well as Seto, but Seto also hasn't scored anyways. Those two may be able to screen the goalie better than Setoguchi! I just imagine zone entries on the PP would be much easier to defend using those two, and racing for the puck in the corners would probably result in more clearings
Seto FTW!
(I can't wait until Colborne returns!)
