If it's low dollars, and a two way deal, then why not have the guy in the fold?
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.

Probably tough for youngsters to look up to someone who is not an NHL player except in the eyes of one team. Unless he is REALLY REALLY something in the dressing room. Begin would be good on the farm. Dave Lowry in his twilight i think had a little more weight in setting an example. Can't really say why i think that.
Pretty mercenary of Begin and he hope the door doesn't hit him on the way out. Lucky to be even considered for a contract.
