Strawberry Fields
12x Calder Cup Champs
Some on the Caps board do not appreciate my Flyers fan-brand pessimism after watching Hershey choke away a 3-0 series lead.

They apparently hired Barry Hanrahann to be their Cap/CBA guru when he was like the guy players went to when they needed tickets to a game for their family/friends before that according to Therien. He was in that role going back to Therien’s playing days.
Given the amount of blunders this franchise has had in that department since then it’s probably safe to say that was & continues to be a loyalty hire & not a merit based one based on actual qualifications.
@JojoTheWhale it’s kind of wild how the NHL is willingly telling Friedman this information completely unaware of how inept it makes the entire league look.
It’s probably safe to say more than half the league don’t have an in house database on contract information. What other major sport is like that?
It’s sounds like the teams don’t really know where the find people to hire to potentially create these databases but it also sounds the NHL doesn’t really have much of a database themselves which makes it harder to obtain this information.
Why the f*** would the NHL frown on websites that help fan engagement? I swear this league is actually moving backwards.
"we want the game to return to a honest old school hockey"Why the f*** would the NHL frown on websites that help fan engagement? I swear this league is actually moving backwards.

stats are for nerds
inB4 "are you a dentist?, if not you cant possibly know more then someone inside the room"If they want us to stop caring about the cap, do away with it. Otherwise, give us the tools we need to know what is and isn't realistic for our team, you arrogant f***heads.
Because it'll help keep player salaries down going forward. Right now, Cap friendly makes it very easy to figure out salaries and player comparables, and by shutting it down, the league is going to force agents to spend time and money doing it themselves, time which used to be spent on negotiating on behalf of their clients.Why the f*** would the NHL frown on websites that help fan engagement?

It’s one of the sports where the cap numbers and machinations matter the most too. Between it being a hard cap and the way LTIR works/accrues, there are huge benefits to this. It’s not the NBA where you give your stars the max and then have exceptions that write most of the contract for you.
I don’t know what details went public, but the league hired a New York vendor to start modernizing some systems. I don’t know which ones, but it sure sounds like a cap resource wasn’t among them. That was last summer. That’s more than a year after the Dadonov disaster. They really are that incompetent.

It's anti-competitive behavior and is going to be on the list of reasons why the players strike yet again when the current CBA runs out

We are at Dan Silver for a myriad of other reasonsYou all mocked Dan Silver for his excel sheet cap calculations but who is laughing now?!?
Do we even think Hanrahan can use a pc? Or did he just hire someone's family member for their unique ability to read the capfriendly and write the info down on piece of paper for him.If teams like the Flyers were relying on CapFriendly for their business needs, then Washington buying it gives them an advantage and gives teams like the Flyers a disadvantage. I don't blame them one but for buying the website, it's the kind of thing I wish the Flyers would spend money on. Off ice things that you can use your capital on to gain an advantage over less affluent teams.

Only 1 team will give him that positionDon’t worry. Lappy is 100% gonna be a NHL head coach.
