Chicago Strip Clubs: Blackhawks GM not trading Sharp, no clue on cap solution

So GM Stan Bowman took the rare step — OK, rare for an executive who’s said goodbye to more players this offseason than the bouncer at a Tampa strip club — in giving his versatile center a reassurance that he won’t be Byfuglien’d.
”I saw Sharpy in the office [Monday]; he stopped by,” Bowman said before the premiere of the Hawks’ Stanley Cup DVD at Navy Pier. ”I told him he can relax. He’s not going anywhere. He’s a big part of this. He means a lot to us on the ice and off the ice.”
No kidding. For all the afterglow of the Stanley Cup championship, the loss of Kris Versteeg(notes) and Dustin Byfuglien(notes) and Patrick Sharp would have been like a “Mortal Kombat” three-hit combo to the fan base’s jaw. Jettisoning all three players may have been an economic necessity, but there’s no way the fans wouldn’t have seen blood on the hands of Blackhawks management due to their own mismanagement.
