This is probably the best option.
another potential solution would be if a player is on LTIR for any of the final 10 games of the regular season, that player cannot be activated until after your team has played 7 playoff games, or upon season end if that players team is eliminated. (note this is just for LTIR not IR)
It would make it much riskier if you had to make it out of the first round to LTIR someone for cap savings.
