The fantasy impact of the Flames signing Devin Setoguchi
Fantasy Impact: The Calgary Flames signed forward Devin Setoguchi to a one-year contract worth a reported $750,000.
The Flames get: A depth forward who is far removed from being a 20-30 goal scorer. Setoguchi had some solid seasons with the Sharks and even had 31 goals one year, but it was clear once he left the friendly confines of that stacked roster his production wasn't going to be anywhere near what it was in San Jose.
Fantasy players impacted: Even in Calgary, Setoguchi is probably looking at a third-line role. This means it's going to hurt depth guys like Brandon Bollig and Brian McGrattan somewhat and Setogichi's veteran pedigree should challenge a youngster like Johnny Gaudreau.
