Joe Colborne interested me because he is not a name that was being associated with the Islanders. There’s been a lot of talks about having to replace Kyle Okposo, Matt Martin and possibly Frans Nielsen. We’ve heard names like Milan Lucic, Steven Stamkos and even David Backes float around.
I don’t see Colborne being “the guy” in free agency but it would be a nice depth move. Similar to if the Islanders added Lee Stempniak. Colborne is coming off of a career year with the Flames with 19 goals and 25 assists (44 points).
