Chicago Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman promised change this offseason. The man certainly delivered on his pledge.
Bowman sent some familiar names packing this summer, brought in a slew of new faces to the organization and re-signed key personnel. As the smoke from a busy offseason clears, here's how things stand.
Out are Troy Brouwer, Brian Campbell, Tomas Kopecky, Jake Dowell, Fernando Pisani and Marty Turco. Right now it appears Chris Campoli, Ryan Johnson and Jordan Hendry will also be in other sweaters next season.
In are Alexander Salak, Rostislav Olesz, Brent McLean, Steve Montador, Andrew Brunette, Jamal Mayers, Sean O'Donnell, Daniel Carcillo and Sami Lepisto. A piece or two may be obtained before camp opens, but for the most part it appears the major work on the roster is complete.
As opposed to last year, when Bowman was saddled with the job of dumping salary and shopping the bargain bin for role players, the head man created the space he needed to better the team then set about that task.
Here are five ways I feel the 'Hawks are in better shape following Bowman's house-cleaning.
