Brouwer got a lot of hits last year and played a lot of PK. I think he still gets a spot somewhere in this league.
I agree with your point that giving up a lot of young players hurts the Hawks this year and beyond, but after that the lack of immediate talent and lower total cap hit both help them draft their way to success and approach a potentially different CBA unencumbered. If the next CBA has a higher salary cap or another compliance buyout, they'll feel pretty silly about overpaying to dump Hossa's contract. Otherwise, they did what they felt they had to do to shorten the total length of the rebuild and to make it count.
