The Oilers went too young and paid for it, so far the Flames are building up a secondary core which I think is smart. the other part of the puzzle is veteran guys that can iron out the wrinkles for young players.
I like Begin too, and I hope another team picks him up.

I just think at this time, it should be about farming assets. There has to be players with great attitudes and personalities that need opportunities AND have more long term value to this team.

I see a guy like Colby Armstrong is still sitting there and could probably fill in a similar roll with this team. From all accounts I have heard, he is a great "dressing room" guy. He would also likely have for value as a movable asset.
