Washington Capitals BUY CapFriendly | Removing the NHL Contracts Database Website from the Public

something hit the news desk yesterday something smacked all of us NHL fans all of us I didn’t want to say hardcore anymore cuz I feel like everybody uses this tool guys cap friendly that’s right the successor to capgeek is on its final legs and that is not due to the website having any issues to them having any funding issues no like National Hockey League GMS and front offices use this site like if you guys look at any you know behind the scenes features whether it’s your own team producing it whether it’s HBO sportset ESPN whatever guys rewatch some you’ll see that a lot of the time general managers on their computer will have if you can see their computer screen anyways in the shot cap friendly open it is such a huge tool it is one of like the big pillars of reference points and tools not only for NHL fans like I said but people who actually work in the industry who work within the game NHL and shoot lower levels as well everybody learning about each team Hockey DB Elite prospects and cap friendly are the big three crazy news and it was actually I got to give a shout out to my friend Dylan he texted me a screenshot of the headline and was like what the is this and my response was exactly the same what is going on is this a power move let’s just get right into it ladies and gentlemen the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League have reached an agreement to purchase cap friendly the website yes a National Hockey League team not just Ted Leona and one of his various companies Ted Leon being the owner of the Washington Capitals and various Washington professional sports teams the capitals themselves have purchased the site now at first I was like based he wants to win he want wants to make some money off of this and the owners are going to get a fat payout I imagine but then I saw an article that Elliot fredman wrote and thus reported on and it’s worse than we thought now a preface that was saying fair play to the Washington Capitals every National Hockey League team wants an edge every team’s job every General manager’s job every front office job everyone you know everyone under the owner they’re working for him and what does the owner want he wants to win owners of the National Hockey League have so much money they don’t even know what to do with having a sports team is their Shiny Toy you know it’s their game that they hope to beat you know we all play whatever it is Counter Strike Halo fortnite I don’t I don’t know what the kids are playing these days but why do we play games to enjoy them get that dopamine rush and to win and a lot of us these days have to pay for a lot of perks in games as well on a bigger scale I mean that’s that’s an owner of a sports franchise right they want to win they’re having fun they’re dishing money to make the experience better and to ultimately help their team win and that is what the washingt capitals are doing in this situation now the site will still be active for users and the National Hockey League brass until July the Washington Capitals wanted the site to be publicly independently operated through the 2024 draft and and free agency so it’s not expected that the sale will be official until okay here it is until at least July 5th neither the team nor cap friendly would comment on this according to Elliot fredman Dominic zrim who’s the website’s co-owner and director does have NHL experience in the past uh for what it’s worth ladies and gentlemen working with both the San Jose Sharks and the Chicago Blackhawks now again NHL teams not all of them but a good chunk of them have actually worked out agreements with cap friendly so that they can use their tools and API interface application programming interface and they recently actually received notice that their contracts would be terminated So within the greater world of fanatic hockey fans and those working in the National Hockey League this was an indication that potentially a team was buying the site and now we know it’s the capitals like I said in the opening frame like you you can understand why a team would want this infrastructure to use as a competitive advantage and also so that other teams actually have to do more homework and can’t just fire up this site because again general managers front office use this to help to make it easier on them when making big decisions when making moves it’s reported that after July 5th or around that date the site will go dark and fans and the brass in front office in National Hockey League teams will not be able to use it any longer now will something Rise From the Ashes I imagine so is it going to be the same is it going to is it going to be an adjustment even for fans absolutely absolutely cat friendley was founded in 2015 after its predecessor capgeek closed capgeek was you know I still sometimes let it slip and say capgeek over cap friendly that’s how much I used capgeek growing up and it was it was tragic the way that it closed some of you might not know Creator Matthew West who built this unbelievable site died of colon cancer in Mar of 2015 cap friendly became an excellent and the rightful substitute for the fans and media after that so what’s what does this mean it means the capitals a still are building to win now that might be a crazy statement but like they’ve won their cup they got an older group here maybe they see that you know the oetkin era is is ending and we’re going to have to do a full overhaul soon here let’s not give anybody a competitive advantage and as a result I mean the Ricochet effect is the fans are going to suffers the wrong word but you know we’re going to go through a little uh nerd T turmoil here until something else pops up and I’m very interested to see if if maybe the greater analytic Community is going to work together to create something or if it’s just going to be a freaking arms race who sight is going to pick up traction first when multiple ones seem to Rise From the Ashes anyways huge news here in the National Hockey League and this story again just came out so there’s going to be more to it and I’m excited to also see where this goes
