What's the fascination with Cole? Just because the guy was a first rounder doesn't mean he's good now or better than Cundari. For all we know, the Bljes offered Cole and the Flames wanted Cundari. Cole sounds rather vanilla if you ask me, big defenseman with little offense and low penalties, suggesting he's probably not super physical. Cundari has out scored and is reported a tough and nasty piece of work, he sounds like a Kevin Bieksa type defenseman.
Real scouts go and watch these players play rather than read HF's prospect page and look up where they were drafted. Feaster said that the Heat players hated playing against Cundari, you'd like to think that your minor league players and coaches can give a better assessment of a player than HF.
