Troy Brouwer hopes there is an agreement between the NHL and NHLPA soon, but he first and foremost wants the owners to honor existing contracts. Some owners are banking on getting some sort of salary rollbacks on contracts signed prior to the lockout deadline. Players, obviously, are not fans of that idea. "As the owners say, they want rollbacks. And players aren't willing to take them," said Brouwer, who signed a new three-year, $11-million deal a week ago. "We're just asking owners to honor the contracts they've previously signed. In any other business in the world, that's perfectly acceptable. We're willing to halt our future growth so the league can catch up. But we're not interested in taking rollbacks."
