2006-2007 Historical League Player Salaries/Skill Levels

Not sure if this is something in the database, or if options I chose in starting the league led to this.
I started a 1.03 historical league for 2006-2007 as the Carolina Hurricanes, selecting all of the radio boxes in league setup.

At the start of the game, Chad LaRose is signed to a 5 year, $4,260,000 contract which is completely non-historical, or even close relative to the salary cap. Andrew Ladd is signed to a 3 year, $5,370,000 contract, Craig Adams is signed to a 5 year, $3,440,000 contract.

The team is hopelessly over the cap (by 10 million), if actual lineups from that year are attempted.

I tried a 2005-2006 historical game, which was much worse, with minimum salaried 4th liners signed for 4-5 years at 3 million or more each (Ryan Bayda, Trevor Letkowski among others) with the team being more than 30 million over the cap!!

I started wondering if player salaries are recomputed against the 2012-2013 salary cap when starting historical leagues, based on the assigned player skill levels. Is this the case?
