Setoguchi was released from his professional tryout contract on Sunday, the Canadien Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Setoguchi wasn't able to make an impression on the Leafs during his tryout, and will head back to the open market. He played in just 12 games for the Flames last season, failing to record any points. Considering his struggles with the Flames last season and failure to gain any traction during his PTO with the Leafs, don't be surprised to see Setoguchi settle with an AHL contract to begin the season.
