I could see players not liking this though. It would kind of suck to get traded as a regular season injury fill in just to essentially become a black ace and sit for the playoffs because of cap concerns.
I don't think a lot of people will like this, but I think the best solution would be just to get rid of the LTIR cap exceedance rule altogether. If a player gets injured, tough tits. You now have to rely on your organizational depth. Allow for emergency call-ups that don't count against the cap. but don't allow for being able to exceed the cap by an equal amount to that of the injured player's cap hit. It would definitely add more unpredictability. Personally, I think it would be more interesting.
