There is no cap in the playoffs. Eichel is still months away from full contact hockey, and they can practice their PP with him well before they officially activate him. It's no different from Kane in 2015 or Kucherov in 2021. The Knights simply have to get into a playoff spot. If they match up to the Oilers in round 1 it'll be a pretty well-timed tuneup for acclimating Eichel too.
