I am a little disappointed at the vitriol by some fans surrounding Setoguchi. Don't get me wrong, I am glad that the franchise is moving on, but I wish Setoguchi nothing but the best.

I understand what you're saying, but it was obvious from watching him in Winnipeg that he had lost it. Jets fans couldn't wait to get him off of their team. No other team wanted to sign him, its not like the Flames just got to him first.
He was utterly useless, but I agree with the thought that if our lineup was healthy he would have been put on waivers long ago. The Flames gave him every chance and more to break out of this "slump" or whatever it is he is doing.
Like I said, it's not my $750,000.00 that got shelled out for sweet F all, that's the owners money. I'm just glad I will no longer have to watch him stumbling around killing plays in a Flames jersey anymore, getting ice time he never deserved.
