Has it not occurred to anyone that when we improve team defence, and particularly if we get a system or coach that isn't so gung ho about our defense jumping up in the rush at every opportunity, that we might also see a drop-off in our scoring? I don't see how anyone looks at our forward group and figures we don't need to concern ourselves with secondary scoring. I understand why people are not overly excited about Colborne but we don't have any AHL prospects that are ready to fill his shoes and we already have three top-six forward positions to fill. Colborne has some value to this team, at least for the next two seasons or so. I don't see his cap hit being a problem even if it's double what it is now. Much bigger cap issues with other players.
