Wasn't Boston trading him pretty much 99% cap related? A nice problem to have from fleecing Toronto twice? They also had to trade away Lucic that off-season...
Of course, they could have chosen to trade away other assets, but it would never have been easy for them to add Hamilton's $5-6M to the cap (or perhaps bridge deal being an alternative).
