Most fans that rag on Colborne would tell you he's an NHLer. The reason fans give him flack is because he shows flashes of a really good hockey player, but he just isn't consistent. If he was always confident and on his game, he'd be a bonafide top-6 RWer right now.

Otherwise he's a serviceable 3rd liner who has had 0 power play success. But I'd blame our useless special teams before I'd pin that on Colborne, as he seems like a player who can easily have success in the blue paint.

If I'm Hartley, I tell Colborne to spend the entire off-season on skating and getting his speed up. He'd be very productive if he could generate in-game break-aways with some actual speed. He'd become a legitimate top-6 RWer.
