Damphousse says it's not up to players to control salary cap

"But what's the sense of me saying to a team: 'Whoa, slow down.' It's not my responsibility to ask them to pay me less. It's up to them (the owners) to discipline themselves. If they want to pay me, OK, thank you."

But Vinny, the point is the teams have no discipline! The NHL needs to step in and save the teams from themselves. That's what the war-of-2004 (new CBA) will be about.
