I could be wrong on this, but my understanding is that one of the driving factors for Arizona wanting to trade OEL is that they need to cut payroll by at least $10m.

So trading OEL+Grabner, $11.5m, for Neal+Nurse, $11.3m, doesn't do anything to help their payroll.

They will have to take back some cap in a OEL, but I think they will try find a trade where they shed as much cap as possible.
