The stats clearly show that offensive numbers peak in the early to mid-twenties.
However, that doesn't capture that there is more to being an NHLer than points.
Physicality and defense are aspects of the game that peak later.
Colborne was never going to be a big offensive numbers guy. His best years (like most players that aren't top point producers) are going to be in his late twenties when he is physically mature and his game is more well-rounded.
