Over the course of the season, Galiardi averaged 20 seconds more ice time per game than Colborne.
Colborne was getting consistently 17-20 minutes at the end of the season, but still had lack lustre production. I hope I'm wrong and he becomes a consistent 2nd liner who can score 20 goals a season, but I see him dropping down to be a 3rd liner who can pot 10-15 goals a year. Poirier and Ferland will push him down the depth chart in the next few seasons.
