That is probably in the fair range for the Hawks to take a 3 million cap hit and 4 million in salary for a year. Problem is that the one Hawk's organizational postion of prospect depth is LHD, with a bunch vying for NHL playing time and not sure Reilly is a fit in that he takes a spot they could use to audition/develop/weed out those prospects. If forced to make a choice, I would probably do the trade from the Hawks perspective cause a potential 5th 2nd rounder is one more chip to push in if you need/want to jump up in the first round (either upgrade the Tampa pick or upgrading a 2nd back into the first).
