Disagree. The likelihood of Wotherspoon "crashing and burning" in the AHL is quite slim IMO. Have you seen the kid play? He was very good in the WJC against the best in the world in his age group last winter and had a very good playoffs and mem cup against some great competition in the CHL.
Wotherspoon is the better prospect because he has top 4 upside and he's a likely NHLer. Cundari has proven more but is also older. His upside isn't nearly as high IMO.
I find it hard to believe anybody who's watched a fair amount of both players would consider Cundari the better prospect.
