On a side not about Puckpedia. Why the hell did the Caps owner buy that nhl cap sight. He had so know the second they left somebody would just come in and provide similar information. I have to think he had some foolish idea that if he bought the site the information would just go away
I think it was less about the information going away and more about them wanting the code and tech behind the website for themselves rather than all the other teams having access to it. PuckPedia is a solid replacement, but CapFreindly was still a step or two above.

Ok that is fair enough, at least that makes sense that you buying it for some positive reason to help you
 
16% would be like 5 guys. My guess is it's more like 16% play at least 100 games because I am guessing at least 1 game would be much higher

Just randomly picking a recent draft in 2014 18 of 30 picks played at least 1 game, 11 played at least 100 games, 7 played at least 300 games and 4 have so far played more than 500 games
They mentioned that on XM when discussing the Marchand trade and the 2nd round pick stating it was better to get an actual prospect vs the 2nd rounder since the likelihood it turns into a player is very low.

Makes ZERO sense, internet archive is a thing and how quickly did capwages.com come around which feels very similar.

CapWages does basically the same thing.

Far more likely it's a tech reason, Caps owner made his fortune that way

When LaxPower was sold, the buyers were looking for a large-scale ranking technology to use as a platform for other sports at the colege and high school level, similar to MaxPreps
