This is such a dumb argument. The cap is based on a percentage of revenues, and does not change one bit if top guys decide to take less.
In fact, if the top guys take less, the money is going from them directly to the depth players. In essence, the median salary of the NHL goes up if they do this, and total salaries stay the same.
That seems like a huge win for the union.
