Setoguchi has 4 goals and 8 assists in 45 games this season. The Kings brought him in on a PTO this past offseason, and he ended up making the team.
This development really saddens me, because this whole thing is such a great redemption story. Setoguchi entered rehab for alcohol abuse back in 2015, and had been looking to find a home in the NHL again.
The Toronto Maple Leafs offered him a PTO back in 2015, but he didn’t make the team. He then spent the season playing in the Swiss league NLA for HC Davos, where he tallied 24 points in 30 games.
