The best way to develop Colborne would be to have him play at centre with 2 actual NHL wingers. Which can be done on the 4th line, as long as you put legit NHLers on that line instead of Westgarth and McGrattan.

I like McGrattan, and would like to keep him as the 13th fwd, but feel we're wasting ice time that could be used to develop players by putting him and Westgarth on the ice at the same time, on a routine basis.
