Around the League 44: The Three Thousand Mile Final

[Daeavorn]

Wow. This seems really odd to me.

Other teams are using the services offered by capfriendly. The caps are buying them to shut it down and prevent teams from using it.

Really scummy and makes me hate them even more.

Those teams have contracts, Caps should have to pay exorbitant fees to terminate those contracts

Really wish the league would block this. Just an utterly scummy thing to do.

Wow, that sucks.

But… CapFriendly’s origin was as the immediate replacement to the first cap service (name escapes me at the moment???) who shut down after the creator unexpectedly passed away, I think. Something will pop up in its place.

Edit: CapGeek! How could I forget!

 

[CandyCanes]

WTF CAPS?! Shutting down Cap Friendly… Another L by the NHL.

 

[Daeavorn]

Spotrac still covers NHL contracts and can be used for that at the very least. its also covering other teams such as NFL/MLB/NBA so I doubt itll go away any time soon.

Something will come up, but getting to be good enough to actually be relied on by teams is hard.

Real scumbag behavior by a franchise we should be used to it from at this point.

This is bad for fans. This is bad for the league. Why am I not surprised it's the Caps doing it

Idk, I’m kinda surprised it’s them…

…seems like a textbook Dundon move if we’re being honest.

I have ever been and shall remain caps unfriendly

He might do that to a sports betting app but this is too low for him. I won't even say even, because of the context.

Ok, I *did* say even, but.

Wonder if the Caps hired someone that worked with Boeing

 

[CandyCanes]

Honestly it's kind of surprising in general that a professional sports team just bought a piece of public software that was made by fans. You'd think all teams would have something already developed or a very in depth spread sheet to play around with stuff like this already

It's not unheard of. Vegas hired the guy who made GeneralFanager, and then shut that site down.

This would be disappointing. Especially for a team like ours where we’re pretty solid drafting in the late rounds. Benefits teams like the Rangers where they’d always be a top free agent destination

In the last 15 drafts, only two Hurricanes picks after the 4th round ever played any meaningful amount of games for the Canes, or even in the NHL. Lorentz and Andersen(Andersen ended up being a 3rd rounder with Anaheim). Maybe that will change once the players drafted the last 3-4 years mature, but this rule would have had minimal impact on Carolina.

Make it open source so it can be easily replicated

Not fair they’ll get to use the trade board thread to come up with trade ideas.

 

[SlavinAway]

Foegs bad leg to leg hit on Eetu

 

[WreckingCrew]

McLovin gets tossed for McKneeing 10 min into game 2

 

[WreckingCrew]

EDIT: Didn't realize OEL took a penalty in the middle to neuter half of it

 

[bleedgreen]

Kid behind the Oilers bench isn't amusing
