Award changes after route changes

So delta's last round of schedule reductions at MEM killed my April award routing.

I had :
MEM - LAX - OGG (Afternoon direct to LAX)
HNL - ATL - MEM
135k miles in first. Not great but better than the 157k this would book out to now.

The afternoon direct to LAX is now gone, the only direct is at 8:30AM. I would have a 7 hour layover.

The computer rebooked through LAS to LAX with a 10 minute connection for the flight to OGG, so that isn't going to work.

How does delta handle these situations on award tickets? As I try to change this around will I be limited to only Med awards or I will owe more miles?

I don't want to double connect on the mainland, that's just more opportunity to miss the OGG flight. I'll probably ask for them to move us to the ATL - HNL and connect on Hawaiian to OGG, but I'm guessing they will say no.
