Puckpedia is the best I've found so far but maybe someone else knows a better one.

I don't use this site because the guy ripped off giant bits of Over The Cap's site. Great swaths of code and all of the data. Didn't even try to hide it.

Shouldn't take long until there's a new site no? There's no lack of nerds when it comes to sports these days. Just need a few with enough time on their hands.

Yeah, I don't love Puckpedia's formatting (let us rearrange the page, and for the love of all that is holy, cut the amount of space each player's salary takes up by half; I should be able to see more than 14 lines of numbers on a desktop screen), but the data is solid, they have many of the features CapFriendly had, and are clearly ramping up to roll out more, and they seemingly want to fill that space accurately and well. (Also, their data drives Puckdoku, so that's neat.)

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me can explain - wtf? Purely money grab? Couldn't he get solid (meaning, above AHL) money in, uhm, normal country? Scandinavia, Switzerland, Germany?
Edit: Politically speaking, this is not as bad as playing for Russian or Belarussian team, but still...

This is an excellent way of putting some data to concepts like not wasting picks and understanding what you don't know.

Sad to think the time we spent following Allison and Laczynski as prospects was basically wasted.

KHL teams, at least the top half of the league, should be able to outbid them easily.

What is this saying? What is the group he’s referring to?
Obviously he’s saying there is a low-probability cohort that Carolina is avoiding, but kind of contextless without describing the cohort.

If I'm reading the replies right, it's older players (early birthdays) in the bottom 25% of scoring.

Hmm, that’s a very vague and imprecise way to make the point. I’m sure it’s correct. Just an odd way of expressing it.
The Carolina experiment will be fascinating to look back on. Drafting is not “easy” in any one draft, but given the incredible amount of mis-pricing going on, over a long enough time horizon, it would be very, very easy to arbitrage the draft.
