As things are, I'd rather try Monahan on the wing than Colborne.
I don't get what people are seeing when they complain about Colborne at center. The guy is PPG, tied for the team lead in points, and has a very respectable +/- of +3, among the best in team. He's not even that terrible on faceoffs, ~47% (or five wins short of 50/50 on a little over 100 FO's taken.) Even the team is doing well.
In any case, you can always move centers to wing, and ideally you need at least four guys that can play top 3 center on the roster, in case one of them is injured.
Byron is a placeholder in my books. A likable, energetic stopgap, but one that will make room for bigger and equally/more skilled guys probably as soon as next year, possibly even this season.
