Leafs hopeful Devin Setoguchi speaks to media at the opening of Toronto Maple Leafs training camp at the MasterCard Centre in Toronto on Thursday September 17, 2015. (Michael Peake/Toronto Sun/Postmedia Network)HALIFAX - Devin Setoguchi came from Alberta to Atlantic Canada for a chance to revive his NHL career with the Maple Leafs.
But the journey here was much more difficult than shaking jet lag, getting used to new teammates and toiling for a spot on right wing. Setoguchi first had to win a battle with the bottle, completing a rehab stint in the spring and summer, then getting back in shape for a shot with the Leafs on a professional tryout contract.
