You can't do that. You can ‘Kucherov’ him by keeping him out until the playoffs start and evading his cap hit. (Assuming the league turns a blind eye to the fact that he's ready to play earlier.) Or you can activate him for regular-season games and have to clear his full cap hit. Not both.
Remember, cap space does not accrue when you are using LTIR.
