Well this site seems to work for that eh?


This is amazing considering it's 2024 right?

I mean, we found out last year that the NHL couldn't figure out how to make like a Word Doc listing every NTC each player has.

So, it's not really that surprising.

While sad to see it go—the basis of that website shouldn’t be that difficult to recreate for an enterprising party.

The biggest issue would be having too many different parties trying to create the same site and flooding the marketplace.

I’m a bit surprised that the Capitals felt the need to purchase it. I thought for sure that each NHL team had their own internal resources to manage their salary caps and take into account different cap scenarios.

I don't think so.

A lot of these NHL docu-series you'll see clips of GMs with Capfriendly open on their computer.

No wonder he ran out of time at the TDL!

it was ufa day, but i'll allow it since dates were messed up that year.

 

[krutovsdonut]

Some of the rumoured contracts for Joshua are getting a bit absurd, Sat said there were teams ready to offer him more than $4M AAV. Think he's probably gone.

at 28 he pretty much has this one chance to make his retirement bones. how many millions do you leave on the table to get to play with garland next year.

I think it’s pretty clear. They are going to buy him out if they don’t find a trade for him

what would chicago squeeze out of us i wonder.

 

[Nucker101]

I like Joshua but yeah $4M AAV is too pricey, but I’ll be happy to see him get paid since he’s a late bloomer and seems like a good guy

Work out a deal with another team, let his agent talk to the other team about an extension and see if they can get something in return then. Return won't be great, probably a reclamation project but better than nothing???

Considering the rumour is the Canucks think he's worth something in the $2.5M AAV range, I think they'd tend to agree with you.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Joshua is overrated here, Allvins assessment and subsequent (rumored) contract offer was spot on appropriate.

Would like him to stay, not a big deal if he leaves.

 

[TruGr1t]

 

[Vector]

If Joshua is gone and they are looking for a replacement, I wouldn't be shocked if they go after Carl Grundstrom. Good chance he's not qualified by the Kings, and very physical. Has far more experience than Joshua did, isn't as big, and hasn't been used on the PK at all but he'd be an intriguing low-cost replacement if they are going with the same philosophy.

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

As the cap increases in leaps and bounds over the next 5 years, the Canucks Brass would be stupid not to resign both Lindholm and Zadorov.

Good callout. Other cheap size on the UFA market this summer: Kevin Stenlund, Christian Fischer.

Also available: Justin Bailey and Brendan Gaunce

I'd also be willing to take a flyer on Tanner Jeannot and see if he bounces back here.

 

[TruGr1t]

Sounds more and more like they'll end up giving Hronek his payday and let pretty much every notable UFA walk. Maybe retain Blueger. If 7x7 doesn't work for Lindholm he's probably looking at, or close to, $8M AAV, and Zadorov's ask is pretty known at this point.

 

[tradervik]

But that data that they’ve collected—it’s all publicly available. Any other team or party could scrape that data from the website from now to July 5th and have all the same info as what Washington has.

The info is publicly available but that doesn't mean it's legal to scrape it from Capfriendly.

With the Caps shutting out the rest of the league, any team that doesn't have easy access to the contract info will be at a disadvantage. Hopefully our intrepid Canucks media are working their sources to find out if the Canucks have their own database. All this begs the question as to why the NHL doesn't have such a database in the first place. It seems like an obvious resource to provide.

Danton Heinen would be a solid hometown third liner to go after as a Joshua replacement. Not sure how much he’ll get after putting up 36 points

I'd throw something like 3 years x $2.5M in front of Heinen and see if he bites, especially if Joshua walks. However, he may be able to get like, Evan Rodrigues money.

 

[wonton15]

AHL legend. I remember always wanting him to get called up and explode with the big team

 

[Baby Pettersson]

I understand walking away from UFAs if the price is to high but isn't every UFA expecting a payday with the rising cap?

I don't really understand the strategy here. Maybe land a few bargain contracts?

Blockbuster trade perhaps?

If we are letting everyone walk we are entering the draft with almost the most cap space in the entire league!

i'm not even sure it's all publically available. teams generally announce contracts but not things like bonuses or ntc/nmc's. i think there's a fair bit of 'reporting' happening with capfriendly. they're not just getting contract details from twitter

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Krog was in the Canucks system back in the day wasn't he?

 

[BimJenning]

I don't think so.

Everything about that was so funny. It's like they penalized Ottawa because the NHL is a multi billion dollar organization that can't keep a pretty Excel file up to date

 

[Vector]

4 games and 1 goal!

that info coming from the agents/PA?

I suspect they're still holding out hope for Guentzel despite the reports he wants to play in the US. Wouldn't be overly surprised to see them trade for his rights, actually.

Outside of that, I think you sign Dillon, spend a bit more upgrading the right-side defense via free agency, and sign a couple of the cheaper wingers on the market for depth.

I don't think they have the pieces available for an impact trade given what the rumoured ask is for guys like Necas.

 

[credulous]

i don't know where they get it. as far as i can tell they have some sort of source though because that stuff is rarely announced
