I don't mind Colborne on that line either - he does a heck of a job in the corners - but you just have to love the speed that this line could generate with Byron there. I also think that Backlund plays fairly well with Byron.

I agree, as long as Byron is healthy enough. He's had the one set back already.
I think Colborne would be OK - he's faster than he looks (Jones too for that matter). But Hartley is also concerned about matchups against the Sedins and the Higgins line.
