And even still, just because of that doesn't mean that teams should be allowed to exceed the cap then, because you're getting this situation where the cap doesn't really exist if you can manipulate the rules into your favour to actually exceed the cap and have more superstar players than what it intends for.
I feel the system should be fairly simple and straightforward. You're team's cap for the season as a whole is something you have to comply with every day your team has an active ongoing season. Player's AAV is the only thing that matters. Regular season or post season, you have to ice a roster that is within the limit. Offseason and preseason you can be over.
NHL GM's will be cleaver enough to make big deals around the deadline since they're desperate enough to make dumb moves for instant chance of improvement.

This is true, same goes for the draft, for the most part.
But a lot of people do get genuinely excited for the playoffs. Less competition at this time of year.
