It will be interesting how Colborne does with the Avs. With the Flames he was one of 3-4 players that was above average size. The Flames really needed his size and truculence in the line-up.
The Avs 2 smallest forwards are Mackinnon 6-0 187 and Duschene 5-11 200
This year they added Colbourne, 6-5 defenseman Wiercioch ... add that to Zaradov 6-5 who is looking to make NHL and their best AHL player 6-4 Rantanen 60 pts in 52 games as an 18 year old rookie pro. They have added a lot of size.
add that to 6-4 d-men Eric Johnson and 6-4 Eric Gelenias and it pretty much a freak show.... or Basketball team.
The line up I saw for Colorado has Colborne on a line with Mackinnon and Rantanen.
Colborne had his point spurge at the end of the year when he got to play with Backlund instead of Stajan.
If he gets to play on the 2nd line with Mackinnon he will have a good chance of carrying on his late season scoring rate.
