Well that's probably a good spot for both of them. Begin did play well in the later portion of the season but he's not going to fit in with the future plans. Bancks is probably a career AHLer.

Glad Begin didnt get an NHL contract. With Jackman and Mcgrattan already signed he had no spot on our team worth taking from a rookie.

Are Calgary near the 50 contract limit?

Is this the reason they sign AHL contract?

Its because they don't belong in the NHL. Begin will be a good influence on our guys there.

I'm glad a contract spot wasn't used on either.

If we weren't in a full blow up mode I would of loved Begin back on the NHL squad. I like his game but we just have no use for him in a rebuild.

If only Calgary could move Jackman now. Would have preferred Begin over Jackman last season and best scenario is that both of them would not return to the big club.

Steve Begin has been given a non-roster invite to training camp.
