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 agree with this, and for a guy Begin's age to still be able to play in the NHL you know he's in damn good shape. Try being 23 and slacking off in the weight room while Begin is around, or not taking practices seriously, etc. It's not like he's going to be a disciplinarian or anything but I'm sure his presence would do more good than harm.
