Rumple had the Box before in the EF, so he could have tossed Cora in there. I mean can't he see the future?

Why this and that? It's simply because the writers must either don't care or haven't planned anything out. Rumple got the box a long time after Cora was sent to Wonderland. Since then, he did not get the occasion to meet Cora. You see? The problem is not from the writers :) I think the comment was about her coming to Storybrooke. They did that death spell?! when he could have just put her in the box. The spell was in order to prevent him from dying. Putting Cora in the box wouldn't have solved it. So it is actually not a plot hole. No, when Cora was coing to Storybrooke in 2x09 they did this whole death spell on the well, when they had another means or dealing with Cora.
