That's not true at all. Teams are still accruing cap space during the season, and can add players at the deadline that they would not have the cap space to add earlier in the season. The playoff cap applies only to the 20 players dressed on a given night, not to the entire roster, so a team has to go over the regular-season cap to get maximum benefit under the playoff cap.
