He did have 4+ hits in his first game and I do recall mention that they are trying to turn Colborne into a bottom six energy/checking forward, not a scoring power forward. I would of liked to see him on the first or second line for one game to see what his offensive capabilities are.
It's kind of a win/win for the flames though. Either he stays in the NHL and plays well, or he plays bad, gets sent through waivers and nobody will bother claiming him. He can then hopefully work on his game some more in the AHL.
