Some people just want any excuse to push this "Vegas cheats with LTIR" narrative, and plugs their years and go "LALALALALA" to anything contrary.
The difference is when teams hold out a player on LTIR until game 1 of the playoffs starts. Hertl being injured isn't a big deal but if Hertl and Stone return for the first game of the playoffs then it indicates to me that their being left on LTIR is the issue.

I guess time will tell. I didn't like it when Kucherov did it ether.
