New coach might have a positive impact on his game too... why trade him, his value to us is higher than what we would get back in trade.

He isn't a second liner on a contending team. We are trying to build just that. Rumour is he is going to be priced like a second liner. If that's the case we need to cut bait, so we can save the cap room for real top 6 guys. Colborne doesn't bring enough to the table to make anything over 2-2.5. He doesn't play physical, not much of a point getter, and his defensive play is not stellar.
