Having to give up all 3 2nds would be painful. So its probably a fair trade.
They want out of the Hartnell contract (and we could use his grit). How about something like:
#3 + Hartnell for #6 + Colborne + 2nd

I don't think Columbus views Hartnell's contract as a salary dump. From what i have read they are expecting a return for trading Hartnell. By no means do i think they are going to hit a home run, but i could see a team giving a 3rd round pick and a $ 1million/ 1 year term pressbox player back.They actually might not even have to take a contract back. Hartnell is still a top 6 player. The only concern is the 3rd year left in the deal.
Colborne is a RFA that might get a good settlement if he goes to arbitration. I don't see more than a 3rd round pick for trade value. So basically the way i see your trade proposal is Hartnell and Colborne are a wash and it would be like Columbus accepting #6 and a 2nd for #3. Not going to happen.
