Capitals to purchase CapFriendly website

[GQS]

Damn its going to be really sad to see CapFriendly go away in a couple of weeks or so. Already so many offseason moves happening and my second go to source after going to HFBoards to read about these moves is to go to CF to see what financial impact it has on a team or what they gave up in a trade etc.

Going to miss CF so much.

You also had sites like HockeysCap. They were the ones who created the "Armchair GM" tool that eventually ended up on Capfriendly.

As far as I remember, CapGeek really started that with their fantasy roster tools? NHLNumbers was the OG of all of them, but mostly did the hard work curating the initial data set, didn't really dip into any calculators/tools immediately.

There was a tweet in here somewhere that ~25% of the league had a tool/system already. Has anyone reported on how many teams don't or which ones are scrambling? I'm curious if it correlates at all to team performance, spend or anything of note or if it's just random.

CapGeek did have something similar, but I'm meaning the specific one that ended up on Capfriendly. HockeysCap had it on their own site, but then joined Capfriendly and brought it there.

CapGeek was the pioneer of making it a super pleasing user interface. Not accusing CF of anything but once capgeek was gone, CF took a lot of the appearance and UI and integrated it into their site.

I imagine building sites like that is easier now compared to 2015-ish (or whenever capgeek's heyday was) so if there's a site wanting to push it, I think they can. Sounds like PuckPedia is willing to put the effort it. They should be working with some web designers right now looking at CF and trying to mimic it. The appearance and UI is what is holding PP back at the moment though I would hardly say it's an insurmountable feat to overcome.

I know this is about the Capitals buying capfriendly.com but did they buy hockeydb.com too? They haven’t updated any of their stats since game five of the Finals???

Site is going dark today.

They’re 4m over the cap, hopefully opening the site makes them realize that

If you mean the Caps, no one is technically on LTIR in the summer. CF is counting Backstrom as a player headed to LTIR right now, but not Oshie. The two of them to LTIR gives them almost $15M to claw back under the cap.

If Oshie somehow can play, they will need to do some roster surgery (but his back is cooked, sadly).

Still here

Lol, they timed that perfectly. Still needs work though.

You do need to be cap compliant to start the season though or they won't accrue cap space all year, which would prevent in-season moves.

100%, as stated they had a few teams after they.

Just part of doing business

Wasn’t aware of oshie.

That makes sense now

wondering the same, puckpedia isn't quite as clean but looks good when you adblock a few frames

It’s just after midnight July 6th on the east coast and Capfriendly is still up.

Capfriendly has not yet perished.

It means that the Capitals management are too dumb to build their own software, bunch of idiots .

They're far more dumber than that because they could simply use this software FOR FREE.

No wonder they have NEGATIVE 13M in CAPSPACE.

RIP CapFriendly

I remember CapGeek going down and that was a sad time; mostly because it was ran by one person (who passed away), not sure if CapFriendly also was

Guess its on to... PuckPedia? What other options are there
