Poirier and Ferland will push him down the depth chart in the next few seasons.

Colborne's production went up as the season progressed, as did his ice time.
If you split the season into quarters:
Games 1-20:
- Galiardi -- 20/20 GP - 1G / 5A - 16:39 ice/game -- 1.08 points per 60 min played
- Colborne -- 19/20 GP - 1G / 3A - 12:37 ice/game -- 1.00 points per 60 min played
Games 21-41:
- Galiardi -- 7/21 GP - 0G / 0A - 14:50 ice/game -- 0.00 points per 60 min played
- Colborne -- 20/21 GP - 2G / 3A - 13:01 ice/game -- 1.15 points per 60 min played
Games 42-61:
- Galiardi -- 19/20 GP - 1G / 6A - 13:16 ice/game -- 1.67 points per 60 min played
- Colborne -- 20/20 GP - 1G / 7A - 13:46 ice/game -- 1.74 points per 60 min played
Games 62-82:
- Galiardi -- 16/21 GP - 2G / 2A - 13:33 ice/game -- 1.11 points per 60 min played
- Colborne -- 21/21 GP - 6G / 5A - 17:26 ice/game -- 1.80 points per 60 min played
Over the full season:
- Galiardi: 1.12 points per 60 min played
- Colborne: 1.47 points per 60 min played
For comparison, last season:
- Hudler: 2.29
- Cammalleri: 2.16
- Monahan: 1.70
- Backlund: 1.66
The elite:
- Crosby: 3.55
- Getzlaf: 3.18
From the first quarter to the last, not only did Colborne's average ice time increase by nearly 5 minutes per game, his point output during that ice time increased by 80%.
