I mean if they are offering him a PTO, sure, I guess. I mean the Leafs already have a glut of forwards and while Setogucci seems to have been dealing with substance abuse, he also has a reputation of being a bit of a lazy player. Is that really something we need to be bringing into the organization?
Given he fell flat on his face in Calgary last year, I'd say he'd have to go through a productive year with the Marlies before he'd be considered for an NHL contract.
I'd have to think it's for an AHL contract at this point...and really, given his numbers over the past few years, there isn't a ton of upside there anyways.
Even with the AHL, I'm just looking at the roster and the prospects we have and just don't see where he fits in the organization. I get the NHL roster having all these 1-year players this year to give guys like Nylander a year in the minors at center. What I don't really get is what we do with guys like Frattin who arguably show they are too good for the AHL but really haven't been able to establish in the NHL. He's borderline for an NHL roster spot at this point.
There are some players who can still be called prospects, even if a long shot, who might have to play in the ECHL because of depth. I just don't see where he fits.
