Add all the salaries for the roster on a calculator but don’t add Seabrook and you will see that you are over the cap. Seabrook on the ltir here is already 0’d out so you can’t go over. Your 83M doesn’t include Seabrook salary, otherwise you’d be at 90M
You can if you are at the cap bring a player up from the minors that is no more than $100,000 over the league min for each player on LTIR. This would allow him to bring up a player at $800,000 or less without affecting the cap but he would still be way over.
I honestly dont recall but it Seabrook to Leafs and had him on LTIR.
The OP thought for some reason you could go over the cap when you out someone on LTIR, what actually happens is the moment you put someone on LTIR ... that salary is removed from the cap until such player is not on LTIR.
Ahh, I see his confusion now, couldn't tell without seeing the trade. Thanks!

A team can replace a player that is injured on LTIR or not even if they are at the cap without that player counting on their cap but that player (the replacement player) must be making $100,000 over league min or less. This is how the Leafs were able to operate above the cap. That doesn't give him the room he was thinking it did though. It just means you can be at the cap and have a player making $800,000 or less on the roster above the cap.
