It seems 28 other teams made the same mistake. If Colborne was such a great asset, it must've been pure folly that no one else could top Colorado's meager offer. I mean, 2 x 2.5m for a UFA? That's not even an average wage for an NHLer. Considering that's all he could manage to get as a UFA(!), that says a lot about his worth according to those whose job it is to assess mature NHL players.
