Or just don’t allow any team to dress a lineup in any playoff game whose combined AAVs exceed the cap.

They had LTIR then, but the problem was that LTIR means out for a minimum of 10 games, the injuries that season started happening with 8-9 games to go, which means they couldn’t get any LTIR relief.
They had only 4 healthy defenseman up, and with no cap space, had to send forward down so that they could call up sone rookie D, who basically didn’t play much anyway.
They played one game with only 9 forwards dressed.
