I don't think the young players should be given a free spot on the team, I'd prefer they earn it. However, with players like Knight, Bouma, Reinhart, Horak and borderline players in the AHL, I feel like there's already enough healthy competition on this team for the bottom 6.

Now, if those players would be better off playing more minutes and more regularly in the AHL for their development, I can understand wanting to getting a good veteran player who's fine with being a healthy scratch. But if Begin isn't on this team come October, I'd be perfectly happy as well.
