HF would probably be like their 3rd highest paid player.
I thought every team already had one.On Marek show today with Friedman, they said NHL teams are panicking after caps bought capfriendly. Wonder if we see a bunch of cap analyst hires across the league
Maybe they were all using capfriendly? lolI thought every team already had one.
Bettman would agree with the bolded textI would assume that anyone could start a website for hockey salaries. And I would assume every GM in the league can find salaries easily. Capfriendly was probably just more convenient.
....Or maybe I took NHL salary information for granted.
What’s weird to me in all of this is the implication the NHL itself doesn’t have a central registry for all cap and contracts for all teams to reference and administered competently by the league. Like there’s no “pro” version of Capfriendly.
Makes you wonder why they have a “New York” office or a “league” at all when you don’t even have a way to track this stuff.
No wonder they screwed up so hard with Ottawa and the Dadonov NTC.
i have heard they do have all the contract details registered and available to teams but...you need to call the league to get contract details on a case by case basis. there's no automated access to it
That's a great question!Enjoy the site but this won't move the needle for most NHL fans.
Why would Caps purchase a site to shut it down when it could be easily replicated?

Yup, or just:Thank you for this
Exactly my thought.If I'm not mistaken, a lot of the player data is sourced from EliteProspects. I wonder how that relationship will work or continue to work (or not work).
I think EP is in a prime position to take over. Go buy a similar site with similar functionality and then develop it. Up until July, the CF data is available. Start paying an intern to copy and paste or run a script to get all of the currently public information. Then upload once the site is ready. You'd only have a couple of weeks to bridge.

Bettman is too blinded by his ego to embrace modern technologies that actually improve the sport for fans
