The indirect answer was that Pens have more options than Hawks had. They are neither up against the cap nor do they have no other options, should players have to be moved for cap space eventually.
Hawks also moved Campbell at the draft. Martin will be returning less, if Pens had to get him dumped early before FA.
Also in hindsight, that trade does not look half bad for Florida, while Hawks subsequently did diddly squat with the cap space.
