Even before he started taking the American Hockey League by storm this fall, the Leafs were already getting more Joe Colborne than had been initially received in that headline-grabbing trade with Boston last winter.
Literally. Since coming to Toronto along with a first rounder for veteran defenceman Tomas Kaberle, Colborne has actually grown half an inch.
