The 'anti' Colborne crowd seem fine with a one year, cheaper dollar deal than what he could have been awarded in arbitration. Looks like that at least will happen, and even the small possibility of him being completely eliminated from the roster.

Sounds like both sides - for the most part - see this as a positive move. So why the bickering still?
I'm not a big Colborne fan but I don't see the incentive on his part to sign with the Flames now. Sure he can play at home but some GM will overpay him in term and AAV simply because he is a big body and finally put up some points last year.

Methinks Joe is done as a Flame.
