Franchise

In the franchise format. My team shows a cap surplus of 8mil+. However, when i attempt to make a trade with a much lower cap hit. It says the trade would put me over next years cap hit. What the heck is going on. Is this another problem. Anyone experience this? Appreciate any feedback.

    What team are you playing with? Could you show a screenshot of the situation?

    Thanks for the feedbaack stylzz. What i was stating was. The cap is at 95 mil. But my teams total expenditure is just over 85mil, showing i have 9+ mil in available cap. I have no extensions on the books. But when i try to complete a trade with a difference of 2+ mil. It feeds back. I would be over the cap for said year. I have intensively gone through all salaries pertaining to the cap for 26. After adding them up. The 85+mil is accurate. So i cannot understand why this restriction pops up, saying im over the cap.

    Yeah.  This is actually an accurate real-life rule.  I believe the NHL uses the same cap number ($92.5M) for next season, even though it's projected to go way up.  Until that's official teams have to stay below the $92.5 number for all future seasons.  Normally this isn't a problem because you'd have contracts coming off the books for the following season, but you could run into it if you sign a few extensions with big raises.  Better to wait on those until after the deadline just in case.
