Ian Cole was in a lot of people's trade proposals with St. Louis. While Ian Cole is 6'1" 220lbs and a former first rounder, Cundari is 5'10", 200lbs, has a better PPG average in the AHL, has more penalty minutes, will fight, and plays a more physical game than Cole from what I've read. Not to mention Cundari is younger and has won a championship. If Ian Cole had been part of the return there would be less shock but I don't know if the return would actually be better.
