08:18 AM ET 06.29 | The breakup of the 2010 Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks continued over the past week, with Brian Campbell, Troy Brouwer and Tomas Kopecky. Brouwer expressed disappointment Tuesday over the reshaping of the team and said he wasn't the only player to feel that way. "I kind of thought they would make more of an effort to try and keep the team together, but obviously that's not the case," Brouwer [said]. ... "And I've talked to a couple of guys on the Blackhawks currently that are a little frustrated with how everything is going. But that's the direction that the team is going in right now and [general manager Stan Bowman] is going to do what is best for his hockey club."

The downside of a win-now-at-all-cost philosophy. Once you've won, you have to pay the price for the decisions you made. Sometimes for years.

It's more the downside of giving Hossa a 30 year contract. Campbell a 40 year contract, and Garnet Exelby a roster spot.

So all of the Hawks overpaid players offered to rework their contracts to keep the team together?
I thought not.

If only they had a good GM to figure this out, instead of the son of a great coach....

Getting rid of Campbell and his salary was good. I wonder where Chicago is cap wise? Maybe they're looking to trade for or sign someone?

And there's the rub.
That they can't is flat out silly.
Troy Aikman used to re-write frequently. Tom Brady as well.

It would create a huge mess if contracts could be reworked Hank. NFL does a lot of things different and I'm glad the NHL doesn't allow reworked contracts. It makes the GM's earn their keep. You sign a player to a **** deal, you're stuck with it. I can't undo my mistakes and if I could, I would be filthy rich and hung like a donkey!

Should have kept Brouwer. He is gonna be a big loss.

After losing Campbell, they had all the cap space in the world to keep Brouwer, and Kopecky. They could have had space to add someone too.

Need 2-3 forwards and 2 defenseman with $14 million cap space.

apologies -I was thinking of teams getting/giving hometown discounts, but that is on renewals, not on reworks.

I should care about a huge mess?
I'd rather see players be able to realize they get too much and it's going to hurt the team if they don't take a hit.

I'd like to see them all sent to the minors after a couple of bad games myself.
