Hey Walsh why didn’t you buy it.NHL’s relationship with CapFriendly was ‘icy’ before Capitals’ purchase, sale has left teams without internal infrastructure ‘scrambling’
The Washington Capitals sent shockwaves through the hockey world when it was revealed on Sunday that they purchased the popular salary-cap site…russianmachineneverbreaks.com
Seems like the NHLPA should start up their own Capfriendly type site.
i read/heard somewhere that swish may be the reason for the purchase, and capfriendly just a bonus for Leonsis. Sorry, i dont have a source for that.So does that mean salary swish will also go dark?
Salaries will still be published just not as nicely aggregated in a single site. Hopefully others within community step up and see the opportunity. Looking forward to how Gen AI like chatgpt will be able to aggregate this and present in different formats.Not making salaries public protects the team management in contract negotiations. If i was the NHLPA, i would publish the salaries to provide more power to the players during contract negotiations. MLSPA publishes all salaries.

Walsh is right about one thing - whether it's the CapFriendly purchase or the treatment of Quebec City market the league kicks its fans whenever it has a chance. They seem to get a weird, cheap thrill out of it.NHL’s relationship with CapFriendly was ‘icy’ before Capitals’ purchase, sale has left teams without internal infrastructure ‘scrambling’

The bolded completely (and in my mind, knowingly) ignores that as much as PKP were willing to make political hay out of a QC NHL team, enough to get billions to replace Colisee Pepsi (that this wistful pining is also coming from the same guy who believes that Calgary shouldn't be given a free ride to do the exact same thing with the Flames is not lost on me in terms of irony) that PKP have been awfully silent when it comes to actually paying the money for an expansion team, and have been that since Vegas and Bill Foley set the going rate.Walsh is right about one thing - whether it's the CapFriendly purchase or the treatment of Quebec City market the league kicks its fans whenever it has a chance.

I was talking about the market and not the facility. From what I know of the situation the damage is done in QC. Here in Calgary the disaster is in its early stages (The damage can still be limited) and can still be averted by more competent people.that this wistful pining is also coming from the same guy who believes that Calgary shouldn't be given a free ride to do the exact same thing with the Flames is not lost on me in terms of irony
Shhh!!!!Does anyone know when it's supposed to go dark?
I was wondering the same thing. I understood it was supposed to go dark last Friday.Shhh!!!!
(Actually, I'd like to know this as well.)
That was a theorized date. In the end, the site will finally come down as soon as the league tells the Caps to take it down, or when the Caps finally decide to take it down.I was wondering the same thing. I understood it was supposed to go dark last Friday.
