"Cap hit" and "owed" are two different things though. The Sabres are paying Ehrhoff, but there's no cap hit thanks to the timing, using a compliance buyout when they were available. I didn't go through the rest of your list, but I know DiPietro was one and Turris was not (so he does have a cap hit). The others are a bit older and probably do fit into that timeline where the league was coming out of a lockout.
