I think Arizona is going to need to go into a long term rebuild. They put all their chips in this past year and all they got for it was a first round exit? Now they're fined massively and lost picks/money. They need young players and picks, and they don't have a lot of leverage. Plus they need to shed salary, that deal saves them 2.9 mil per year now and then more in a few years. Plus they get a first round pick and a solid young Dman in Siegs they can plug in now.
Caps don't need to add much more imo to get a 29 year old Dman that's signed for several more years at $8.25 mill. As good as OEL is, that deal is solid for them.
