I actually think Cundari's stock has fallen, and deservedly so. As an undersized defenceman he was already going to be hard pressed to make the show. Apparently though his 4 game stint with the big club was enough to convince him he was going to make the team last season. He came into camp completely unprepared and was immediately sent down. He then struggled with the Heat, enough so for the management group to consider him non-essential to the team's success.
Granted he did well with the Wolves and seemed to get his game back, but last season really hurt his stock as far as I'm concerned. TBQH I was very surprised to see him get a contract offer.
Hopefully he learned a lesson and comes to camp this year in the best shape of his life, but even then he'll be hard pressed to crack the lineup.
