I think what he brings is replaceable on with an ELC or a cheaper FA. I'd say trade him.

This logically makes no sense. He's been trending up ever since we acquired him and this will likely continue.
Colborne is big, skilled and starting to use his recently filled in frame. This is the exact type of player you keep as a solid 3rd line option. He is the type of player who can also fill in on the top-2 lines if necessary.
Also a shootout specialist which is just a bonus.
I'd be happy to offer him 2-2.5 mil for 2-3 years.
