EDIT: a $775k cap hit is probably only going to get paid ~$555k(133/186 days remaining) for the year, so it doesn't work.
My guess is it's a typo because I don't think there's any weird clause in the CBA that would allow a player to sign below league minimum. As a two-way deal, he'll make much less when in the AHL, but the cap hit is still reported as what it is. There is a clause in the CBA regarding RFAs signing midseason that causes their cap hits to be higher in the first season (see Nylander's contract), but I don't know if anything to lower it below the minimum.
