IMO he's not doing enough with all the extra minutes he's been gifted to warrant continuing to get them. I don't dislike Joe Colborne I just think that he's getting more minutes then he ought to be getting and that it's hurting the teams performance.

He got 8 mins last game so hard to blame him last game.
He played well and got some extra minutes for about 4 maybe 5 games and then when his play dropped (not nearly as bad as some have claimed) he was reduced back down to lesser minutes.
I am far from a fan of Hartley and would love to see him gone but not sure what the exact problem is here. Colborne played well and with limited center options his was given minutes. Now his play dropped and his ice time was cut. Backlund was pretty weak early on and he sat, he had some chemistry with Hudler/Cammy and he got a lot more minutes. That seems pretty much how the season should go and how guys like Colborne and Backlund should be handled.
