Setoguchi signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Kings on Tuesday, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

Setoguchi is on the comeback trail, having not played in an NHL game since doing so with the Flames in November of 2014. He wasn't signed after joining the Maple Leafs on a PTO ahead of last season, but did have a stint with Davos HC of the Swiss-A league, notching 11 goals with 13 assists in 30 games. As noted by The Hockey News, Setoguchi had struggled with a drinking problem after getting sent to AHL Adirondack in 2014, so it's good to see that he's earned a new contract and the chance to continue his playing career. With Marian Gaborik on injured reserve with a foot injury and Tanner Pearson suspended, look for Setoguchi to start the season in the NHL.
