I haven't read all of this thread, but I happen to really love Colborne. I think right now he is worth around 2.5 million. Maybe a bit more.

I hope the Flame sign him on a 1 year deal, and then see how he does next year. If he continues to get better, I would like to see him locked up on a 4-5 year deal. He has good speed, offers the Flames something very rare organizationally with his size + skill combo, and has the added benefit of loving to be a Flame.

People dislike him because he isn't a bruiser. He isn't a butterfly either. He is getting way better along the boards and gaining confidence in using his size. I am fine with the way his physical game is now - he at least battles much more consistently (and effectively) along the boards, and that is something that the Flames need more of.
