The Ruzicka contract seems like an example of that. The leagues min this year is $750k which he is paid, the league min next year is $775k which he will be paid next year. This results in him getting paid league min both years, but this year he has a higher cap hit than the league min of $762.5k. At the same time next year he will have a slightly lower cap hit.
I don’t know if the CBA strictly forbids giving a multi year league min deal, but it can be looked at as cap circumvention, and in the long term it doesn’t “save” that much cap space anyways.
