I'm not an expert with the cap, but IIRC Horton was placed on SOIR last training camp to make the Leafs cap compliant heading into the season.

For those that understand this stuff better, now that Lupul went a whole season without a game played how does SOIR affect our cap?
According to the Cap Friendly:
What is the season opening injured reserve (SOIR)?
If a player is injured during training-camp, they can be placed on season-opening injured reserve, to possibly obtain cap relief. It is notable that the SOIR equations are not the same as the daily rate equations in CBA 15.6, which is instead used to calculate the players daily salary (as opposed to cap hit).
Full cap relief
Players who did not accrue any NHL games in the previous season, can be placed on SOIR and do not count against their teams cap hit.
