No the LTIR doesn't really count against the cap. Certainly the Leafs did not have Lupul and Horton and their 10.5m on the cap which would made them enter the season with a roster 10m under "active" players.
Actually Ottawa and the Wings will have their LTIR just on IR so they can pay the bonuses in the current season.
Teams aren't cap punished by having players on LTIR. Are you saying if Toews and Kane are injured in the off season, the Hawks have to enter the season with 60m roster? C'mon.
