The team would also have Toews and Soderberg on it without those issues arising, and that would make it significantly stronger. You're absolutely right though: in the cap world there is a long term cost associated with building and maintaining a competitive roster. Chicago is in a bad situation now, but they're paying for the 3 cups they won. If we were good enough to win 3 more cups in the next decade i would eagerly trade for the following decade of mediocrity.
