In no way, shape, or form is the trading for players already on LTIR in the spirit of LTIR, it's intended to allow franchises to ice a full team and be cap compliant in spite of players being injured (remember when the Flames had to ice a 19 player team before LTIR was introduced, because all of their injured players' salaries still applied to the cap?) If a player is on LTIR, they should simply not be eligible to be traded until they come off LTIR. Period.
