The NHL doesn’t want fans knowing that certain teams cheat the cap, simple as that.

Can’t tell if this is a serious take or not

The Hockey Guy made a great and detailed video about the whole situation and why the NHL doesn't want to have this information available to the fanbase along with the other minutia that's involved with this whole situation. But this is definitely a huge blow to all NHL fans.

2:22 More so, why didn't the NHL purchase the site instead of the capitals if there was such an objection & interest across all teams to close it down? But if the Capitals' intentions to acquire the site was truly for Capfriendly's talent then that speaks rather poorly for the Caps' front office and how it has managed its own databses and analytics capabilities where it needs to outsource a function that should have already been in place for decades.

Pretty sure the guys at capfriendly manually sought out and input the data. I think the larger issue is that the league doesn't seem to have a tool for the teams that is similar using data provided by the teams themselves. I imagine this is an issue that came about when teams started shrinking their scouting department in favor of analytics software similar to what baseball did. Is the league tracking cap space via pen and paper?

My guess is that all of the teams had been doing this stuff via spreadsheet only to realize over the years that this website (and it's predecessor) were doing things so much better, and the teams just started using the site and letting their in house cap management abilities wither.

The Washington Capitals are now dead to me!

Capitals, you've just been placed on my list of horrible franchises, right under Chicago. I don't blame CapFriendly for taking the money. I would too. I guess we now hope Puckpedia steps up it's game and becomes the #1 useful resource for fans.... until it gets bought by an NHL team.

The easiest thing to do would be to scrape the data with a python script, develop a site and then get it ready to go when this shuts down so you dont have to start frim scratch. Theres no way theyd be able to prove you didnt manually compile the data like they do. Hmmmmmm

We've been through this before with Vegas buying the go to site when they joined the league, some enterprising indivdual will make a new go to website for this info. Brodie might want to see the hockey guys video on this his view is that the NHL doesn't want all the financial info easily viewable by fans.

Gut feeling is the NHL wants this information locked down probably more from the players and their union than the fans. The Caps just happened to have space in their analytics department for these guys. My question though is... What's the point? Teams have to prove to their fans that they're willing to win and player acquisition and contract payments are the the easiest sign that a team is making an effort to put a winning product on the ice.

As a general rule, businesses; particularly big ones, aren't fussy about the public knowing any more about their inner workings than they have to. They like to keep their business as opaque as possible. There are certain things which they are required to reveal and others where it's - "if you find out, you find out, but I ain't telling you".

“Capsfriendly” now lol

Why is no one mentioning Spotrac?

I'm more familiar with Puckpedia, but I'll certainly be exploring Spotrac now too.

Wouldn't this create a unfair advantage for the Capitals ?

I hear that the Panthers just purchased the Capitals and the Capitals no longer exist.

I will not buy or support the Capitals management and ownership in any way from this date on because of my uses of cap friendly.

Capfriendly is by far the best one though, this is awful

What’s to stop anyone else from doing the same thing? I wouldn’t be surprised to see another similar website popping up.

When I was a kid, I never knew who made how much. I never thought it was important for salaries to be disclosed. In the other hand, there were 21 teams and no salary cap when I was a kid. Also, the Islanders were a powerhouse. I’ll never have those days back.

What was the sale price?

How does the NHL allow one of it's teams do this? I was never a fan of the Capitals but now I hope they never have a winning season.

Not only that,it's WHO is allowed to do this? Of course,one of Gary Bettman's absolute favorites

Build a new site.

wont there just be another website to rise up? why dont teams just start their own cap business

When i saw this i thought this meantthey were buying it because they liked the domain. Capfriendly is a fitting domain for a fan centered cite for the caps.

Caps are more CapUnfriendly by the sounds of it

Would this have happened if the name wasn't CapFriendly? How shitty is the Caps front office if they didn't already have better information internally?

I’m a Caps fan & I have no idea what it is… Edited: after watching video, this is good for the Caps , so this is great news for me…

A bunch of people got paid for hard work and your mad because you wanted them to continue to do it for free?

Almost 100% of NHL fans crying about this are forgetting to realize tons of others teams tried this and it was available to purchase for literally all 31 other teams. Be mad all you want but this was very smart for the caps to do. If anything be mad at your own team for not doing more to try and win. Shoot look at the Caps AHL affiliate, reigning Calder cup chance going for their league best 13th cup as well as the back to back starting this Friday. Those same players made massive leaps in production from last year to this year and it’s only going to get better for their prospects in terms of experience.

haha the CAPitals bought CAPfriendly. this is exactly the way CAPitalism should work. quit your whining. lol.
