Can you elaborate or provide any evidence of this?
He had the same amount of points in 16 fewer games last season.. He went from -17 to +7. Stats aside, he looked much improved last year compared to 13/14.
And as with most 6 foot 5 hockey players, he's a late bloomer. Yes he's 25 but he's only just grown into his body. He's got the size to go along with the height which will allow him to be a more impactful player.
It's a season too soon to give up on Joe Colborne. I'm confident he will excel next year and am willing to eat crow if he doesn't
