I think Colborne is someone the management would consider a core piece. Big, young, tough improving all the time, can play on several lines, can play on the wing just as well as he can down the centre. Will work hard, has as impressive amount of skill for a big guy.
And the fact is, at this moment in time in the season, he has the best assists to games ratio of any of our forwards. Not bad for a player that isn't dynamic offensively. I don't think its unfair to say that he may well have been our top scoring forward at this point had he not gotten injured.
