At even odds, would you bet money (if you had to, say $1000) that Colborne is going to A) improve B) stay the same C) regress slightly D) regress a lot
I would bet on C because I think he's a 30-35 point 3rd line LW that got hot for a month and a half.
Fact is, a great majority of players are done developing by 26. Betting against that with Colborne seems odd to me. Players like Giordano are like unicorns, you rarely see that kind of uptick in a player once they enter their mid/late 20s. With forwards, usually by 23-24, what you see is what you get. Just because Colborne got a late start does not mean he has a better chance of being an outlier IMO.
