Why can't the reverse happen?
Cundari's got potential, but I'm not sure that a 5'9" defenseman has a long shelf life (or necessarily a high ceiling given his playing style). Giordano plays a similar style, but is (a) significantly bigger physically and (b) freakish in terms of how quick he heals.

That said, Ramo and Cundari do have that potential.
