Begin would very likely clear waivers, even if he played in the AHL his contract would count as part of the 50 contract limit which the Flames currently have 49 of now that Taylor was signed and MacDonald was claimed.
Jones seem to have the most likely chance of being claimed out of the depth forwards. So I'd say they are looking to clear a contract, maybe not for any immediate move but I believe Feaster has talked about having contract room to give him some options throughout the season.
Still think the whole move is odd if there isn't something else just given the center situation and the Flames lack of grit.
