He probably should. At least on a full-time basis... It'd take a rather large leap in talent for Colborne to usurp a spot from any of Monahan, Backlund, and Stajan in the short-term and in the long-term there are plenty of guys knocking on the door from below (and probably more on the way). Unless he'd rather be a 4th line C then a top 9 W it's probably better that he get more reps in at a wing position.
I think he's better suited as a winger anyways... let's him use that big frame of his better with the added board work.

Unless there's been a drop off in sales no need for them to cut prices... although I agree this is just another filler year. They'll season the top prospects for a year in their respective developmental leagues, trade off a bunch of guys for mid round draft picks, extend Backlund and Brodie (and maybe Ramo depending on Hiller), likely draft one of McDavid/Eichel/Hanifin and then hopefully make real progress in 15-16.
