Devin Setoguchi Deserves a Second Chance

[Hobby Bull]

Olli Jokinen had a bad year last year, pretty much would have been on pace for Setoguchi's numbers this year, and then he turned it around with 42 points so far this year.

So the Jets should resign him. Bet he scores at least 25 next year.

You're exactly right. Setoguchi should resign. It would be insane, however, for the Jets to re-sign him.

I liked the move we made to get him at the time. Seemed like a good thing, it seemed like exactly what we needed to get to a more competitive level.

But in hindsight it was one of the worst moves we made.

We gave up a second round pick for a guy who didn't look like he wanted to really give a full effort, didn't end up living up to the promise, didn't score enough of the goals, didn't hustle, didn't really do much except give many Jets fans nightmares about the number 40.

We saw much more promising play from some of the Ice Caps callups just now vs the Bruins

The only way I take him back is at 4th line money. And I imagine some other team will offer him more than that.

So bye Seto.

 

[fmrdh]

IMO he sucks.

I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't in the NHL next season.

Totally agree, Seto just finished playing himself out of the NHL for good this season, Seto can join his buddy Cheechoo in the KHL.

I don't always agree with Sippy, but when I do, close the thread!

 

[Bristo]

I don't think I would let him get away without at least throwing an offer to him for 4th line money. But nothing more, and he would need to commit to some better fitness.

 

[Sweech]

I can only agree to signing him if we sit him in the press box all year and use him as an example to other players.

 

[fmrdh]

The thing that really bugged me about him was that many times I said to myself during a game, where the hell has Gooch been tonight? Only for him to then score a goal on a rebound or a nice feed from someone else.

At least Kane who has had some goal scoring slumps still generates chances nightly, Gooch was invisible even in games where he had goals.

I think his stats are actually better than he has played.

Please... No more Corsi/Fenwick killers.
No more Setoguchi's. No more Jokinen's. No more Thorburn's. No more Halischuk's...

I don't want to lose anymore.

Your reasoning behind bringing Setoguchi back is because of Jokinen? I shouldn't have to tell you how flawed that is.

So... You like Peluso then?

Greeeeeaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!

Re-sign is basically the opposite of resign. Please, don't drive the grammar Natzi crazy.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Bye, Seto!

 

[Duir]

I am believer in second chances so I voted that he deserves one. And I am not even a fan of his. He is a proven goal scorer that had a terrible year. Would be interested to see what he can do with the confidence back.

[pegjets]

Absolutely not.

Honestly, he lived up exactly to the promises made by the fans of other teams the day we got him. I'm just kinda disappointed they were right

 

[LadyJet26]

I voted yes by accident

He's been completely useless this year. There's a reason why people that ordered the cookbook didn't want his signature.

Hey Seto, don't let your fat ass hit the door on your way out.

 

[GJF]

He floated way, way too much this season to deserve another contract.

 

[Savitar]

Please no

I liked the move at the time, too. I think a lot of us did. I do remember, though, that Holden was quite skeptical. Holden - is there anyone else the Jets might be interested in acquiring but should not? Possible examples: Kulemin, Winnik, Pouliot

 

[Guerzy]

Setoguchi doesn't deserve anything because Setoguchi hasn't earned anything. Truthfully, I think Setoguchi wanted to be traded to SJ at the deadline, that didn't happen and he packed it in.

I do not want players of Setoguchi's ilk on the team, not even on a league minimum contract on the fourth line. This team doesn't need players like that as we try and move on and become a playoff team with the culture, dedication and hard work to go with it.

Does anyone really think that Seto is going to want to play through a "man's training camp"? I think Seto will find a place somewhere in the NHL, but I don't think it will be with the Jets. He was a bad investment, and everyone knows that.
