Agreed. Colborne had a great personality and seemed like a very down to earth kid (not to mention all of the off-ice community work). I ran into him at the airport last summer and congratulated him and the team on a good season and he seemed genuinely glad to receive the praise from a fan.
But yes, all of that has to be reconciled with the reality that we can't keep every player as we move forward.
