They must do that prior to the player being able to rejoin the club. If they don't do it, he can't rejoin the team. That appears to be the only penalty.
That isn't the only sentence that deals with this situation. Apparently the rules governing the process are not all available to the public, but keeping a player on LTIR when he is clearly fit to play is, in fact, something the league can punish a team for under the cap circumvention rules.
