Looking to player profiles and i see:
| Season | Cap Hit | Team | GP | Points | Goals | Assists |
|---|
Points at first? And then Goals and Assists? Wtf?!?

PuckPedia doesn't have the nicest layout, but it does seem to be the most accurate which is what matters most.
They appear to have NJ's cap/roster correct - including Hatakka's season opening IR cap hit.
CapMeHonest has MacDermid as a non-roster player (I wish) along with Seamus Casey. Casey played both opening games in Prague while MacDermid drew in for game 2. They also still list DeSimone on the roster despite him being waived yesterday for assignment to the AHL.
CapWages jacked the CapFriendly layout which is nice...but they're not accurate either. They still list Lebanc on PTO (he signed with Columbus a couple days ago), don't have Casey on the roster, don't account for Hatakka's cap hit and list Nemec as being injured (he also played both games in Prague).
For me, PuckPedia seems like they're currently the best option out there.

Yeah I really like Capwages simplicity and look but they are just not accurate. Another example, they have Seth Jarvis' cap hit as $7,420,000, when its actually $7,420,087

Basically, they had decided to acquire their own in-house set of tools for use by their scattered front office and scouting staff across North America and Europe, which they would control and which wouldn't rely on any external sites that could be shuttered at a moment's notice if, for example, the owner suddenly died. That had happened before.
They could contract out to someone to build it. They started down that path and began pricing out what it would take in terms of costs and time, etc. As they did so, they were talking to the CapFriendly people as consultants about what features such a system should incorporate, ideally. The people at CF were advising them on site layout and infrastructure, updating, etc..
Eventually, both the Caps and the CF people came to feel that what made the most sense was to buy CF entirely instead of paying someone to build a new site for them. As part of the acquisition, they would also hire the CF people to whom they were talking, to join the Caps' data analytics department. So they bought the site and brought in the expertise of the CF folks as well (allegedly, brothers Jamie, Ryan, and Christopher Davis). The team then started with CF as the baseline and grew it using the additional data that the NHL teams have access to, beyond what information the free sites have available. An evolved version of what we'd recognize as CF is basically the player data part of the club's intranet now.
