It came down to him and Perreault. Perrault has carved himself a nice little niche in Washington and with an offensive coach he could put up some impressive stats this year. Playing 12 mins a game he put up 30 points in 65 games which in my mind is pretty damn good.

Nothing against Colborne as I think he was a pretty solid prospect and has a better pedigree than Perreault. Maybe he is at a crossroads where he needs to put it together but he has simply disappointed this year and has been wildly inconsistent. I'm not sure when he is gonna make an impact in the NHL if ever, but I know it will be below the expectations once held by others and myself.
