Honestly this happens so rarely that I don't think it warrants a rule change. It's like when people were clamoring for a fix for the EBUG system after that Zamboni driver went in against the Leafs. If it starts happening a lot we can talk about needing to fix it, but one team every 5 years based on injury timing... not really worth addressing.
Besides, if the league really wanted to address it they could just declare it to be cap circumvention and institute some penalty, like you lose a pick or have a cap penalty next year or whatever.
