His cap hit on the main team page [$6,962,366] is not consistent with the one in the 'depth chart' [$10,277,778]. The latter is the 18-19 cap hit.

Since Toronto signed him late the first year of his contract is prorated, meaning that he gets paid more in the 1st year, but his cap hit remains the same throughout the duration of his contract. Could be the cause of the confusion

no, the depth chart has the wrong cap hit. his cap hit is 6,962,366. Its only elevated first year. not in remaining years.
