Offensively I think that's a given. But defensively players often improve long into their careers, and if Colborne could play a bit more of a two-way game he would be a much more useful player.

That said, I don't expect it to happen and while I wouldn't have minded him back at 2.5M a year, I'm not against cutting him / letting him walk. (And I always liked Colborne more than many others on this board.)
