Go into your contract chart under Finances. If all the highest 23 players are ticked, when in fact there are a number of player names in yellow (i.e. players who are actually on your roster and subject to the cap) below them, then it means the game hasn't adjusted it's calculations to your actual roster yet.
I'm in a similar situation in my game right now; my total salaries (including players in the minors) are below $44M, but the game thinks I'm 600k over the cap because it still thinks I'll have the 23 most expensive players on my roster, which I won't.
If you're unsure you can always just take a calculator and manually find out how much your 23 roster players will cost. It'll sort itself before the start of the season.
If, however, you really are at the first game of the season and have a lot of frontloaded or backloaded contracts with higher cap hits than salaries, and are over the cap for that reason, I guess you'll need to put someone in the minors.
Actually I am in the exact same situation, and it didn't sort itself out. It says I am 3 mill over the cap. but adding up the salaries I am only 300k over.
A lot of my players are prospects, and have bonus clauses in their contract. Is that added to salary cap? If so I'm screwed. Looks like Kopitar is on his way out then.
