Devin Charlie Kenichi Setoguchi (born January 1, 1987) is a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who is currently playing for HC Davos in the NLA. Setoguchi is Half-Yonsei (fourth-generation Japanese Canadian).[1] He was drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the first round, eighth overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft and has also played with the Minnesota Wild and Winnipeg Jets.

Playing career

Junior

Setoguchi played one season with the now-defunct Crowsnest Pass Timberwolves of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL). He then spent three seasons with the Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League (WHL). In the 2005–06 season, he finished seventh in the league in scoring with 83 points. In the 2006–07 season, he joined the Prince George Cougars.

Professional

Setoguchi was expected to begin the 2007–08 season in the NHL with the San Jose Sharks. He was injured, however, and placed on the injured reserve. He started off the season with the Worcester Sharks, San Jose's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate located in Worcester, Massachusetts. There he played two games before getting called back up to San Jose.

Setoguchi as a member of the San Jose Sharks

Setoguchi scored his first two regular-season NHL goals on October 29, 2007, in his first NHL game, playing against the Dallas Stars. He became the first Sharks rookie ever to score two goals in his first NHL game. On December 28, 2007, Setoguchi was sent back down to Worcester.[2]

On January 18, 2008, the Sharks recalled Setoguchi back up to San Jose. The following day, San Jose lost to the Detroit Red Wings 6–3, in which Setoguchi scored a power play goal.[3] On January 25, 2008, Setoguchi was sent back down to Worcester to get additional playing time during the NHL All-Star break, then recalled back to San Jose on January 28, 2008. On April 15, 2008, Setoguchi appeared in his first NHL playoff game, where he assisted on the game-tying goal in the third period. The Sharks went on to score one more goal to win that game.[4]

During the 2008–09 season, Setoguchi spent most of his ice-time with teammates Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau on San Jose's first line.[5] On April 25, 2009, in the fifth game of the first round of the playoffs, Setoguchi scored his first playoff goal in the second period, helping the Sharks to a 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.

In the 2010–11 season with the Sharks, on February 19, 2011, Setoguchi scored his first ever NHL Hat-trick in a 4-0 win against the Colorado Avalanche. On April 19, 2011, Setoguchi scored the game winner in overtime against the Los Angeles Kings to make the 1st round playoff series 2-1. On May 4, 2011, Setoguchi completed a hat trick in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semi-finals against the Detroit Red Wings by scoring an OT goal to give the Sharks a 3-0 lead in the series.

During the 2011 NHL Entry Draft Setoguchi, along with Charlie Coyle and a first round pick, was traded to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Brent Burns and second round pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.[6] This trade happened only a day after Setoguchi signed a 3-year contract extension with the Sharks [7] On January 17, 2012, Setoguchi played his 300th career NHL game.

On November 6, 2012, Setoguchi signed with the Ontario Reign of the ECHL during the 2012–13 NHL lockout. Setoguchi was the first player on an NHL contract to join the Reign’s roster. Setoguchi debuted with the Reign the next day against the San Francisco Bulls.[8] On July 5, 2013, Setoguchi was traded to the Winnipeg Jets for a 2nd round draft pick in the 2014 draft.[9]

On August 23, 2014, the Calgary Flames announced they had signed Setoguchi to a one-year contract.[10] On November 27, 2014, after skating 12 NHL games with no points, Setoguchi cleared waivers and was assigned to the Adirondack Flames of the AHL.[11] He remained with Adirondack for the remainder of the season, playing just 19 games and scoring 10 points.

The Flames did not offer a contract extension, and following the end of the 2014-15 season he became an unrestricted free agent. On August 11, 2015, Glen Campbell of CTV Sports reported that Setoguchi claims to have attended rehab and that he has been "clean and sober for five months" with hopes of signing with an NHL team.[12] On August 24, 2015, the Toronto Maple Leafs reportedly signed him to a professional tryout contract.[13] He was later released by the Leafs following the conclusion of training camp on September 27, 2015.

On October 6, 2015, he signed with HC Davos of the Swiss top-flight National League A (NLA).[14]
