750K IIRC.
Setoguchi is perfect for Calgary at the moment. A warm body. Someone to sit rather than having a prospect do so. The only argument for Setoguchi being punted off completely from the team is if people feel Bollig should be sitting all the time.
As for Galiardi, feel bad for the guy since he is a Calgary kid. Plays hard all the time too. Just no offensive ability at all (except when Jumbo Joe was feeding him). Thought he would have been a decent depth scorer on the Flames (though at least he was a great forechecker). After his miserable season last year, figured a team that took a chance on him might be 'buying low' and get a great forechecker with some depth scoring - but nope.
This might be the end of him in the NHL as it looks like for Setoguchi. Funny how they were both signed for low-term and dollar as free agents from opposite teams, and are essentially doing exactly the same.
