Cundari isn't showing he can play in the NHL at the AHL level.

Smid played 5/6th minutes of bad hockey last year. Replacing him with bottom pairing minutes playing bad hockey isn't likely to change the Flames finishing 27th last year. Maybe better because Smith/Cundari have the potential to score a goal or two so maybe they are able to get a goal in a 1 goal game while providing a similar level of below average defense that Smid does.
