I don't want to turn the draft thread into a Colborne pissing match, but this comment makes me laugh because maybe you don't realize that in JC's first three full NHL seasons he's gone from 0.35 to 0.44 to 0.60 points per game while playing all three forward positions, battling injuries and with no significant increase in ice time.
Yeah, I'm sure we will hope for more out of a 6th overall pick, but Colborne doesn't get the credit he deserves around here IMO, and if we can get a player that puts up about 20 goals and roughly 50~ points in his third year as an NHLer I don't think we can complain too loudly.
