I know in the summer you can exceed the cap by 10% but like you I'm not sure if there is a timeframe where a team has to be cap compliant including salaries that will be on the LTIR.
Since Horton has been on IR at the end of last year and will not be in camp I suspect he instantaneously can move to the LTIR list the day the cap goes into effect. Whereas with players who get injured in camp there can be a day where they need to get a player or two transferred to LTIR so they can sign a free agent try out player.
If there is a poster wo knows for sure it's getback.
