1. yes they should have to earn their spots but so should vets and based on his play last season Begin showed he was nowhere near NHL level anymore.
2. Probably neither. I would like seeing kids playing where they should and developing rather than having them at the NHL or the AHL based on some notion outside of their ability determining where they play.
I also doubt they would be having much success together at the AHL level if all put down there together. At least not if they are all getting meaningful ice-time with no vets to do the heavy lifting.
