At this point, if I'm Toronto I don't give up anything more than a 4th round pick for Hamilton's rights. Everyone knows he's basically going to free agency, and there's been reports out already that he's interested in Toronto. Why move your best defenceman when you can just wait a bit longer and get Hamilton for free? Then if you need the cap you can move Rielly for something else that the team needs.
This just doesn't seem to have any point to it from Toronto's side and Carolina is running away in value here.
