Why? How is a 45-point player (even with injuries) not a 2nd-liner? For example, at times late last season Chicago's 2nd line was centred by Artem Anisimov, who scored 42 points last year, and he was flanked by Andrew Ladd (46 points) and, IIRC, Hossa (33 points).
I get that Colborne doesn't use his size as much as guys like Hossa, but he's younger than all of those guys and has room to grow.

Sure, but even with injuries, Colborne's putting up point values north of 40. He's a special player.
