I usually think people get way to concerned with the thought of signing vetrans on our rebuilding team. The fact of the matter is, we lack NHL ready prospects, so we do need to surround our few decent prospects with actual NHL playes to avoid the Oiler issue.

But Begin, who I like, is a different story. We don't lack prospects that can play that role, so why not let the prospects play. Unless Begin is truely such an amazing role model that we want him around for that reason, otherwise I don't understand it. 2-Way does make it better though.
