[NHL Watcher] Friedman names teams that have something when CapFriendly goes offline (32TP): Seattle, New Jersey, Carolina, Chicago, Islanders, Toronto, Columbus. Pittsburgh didn’t have anything before, but once Dubas got there they started building something.

It will be interesting to see how, if any way, this makes the offseason uglier for teams that do not have their own in-house cap software/system.
It’s really a bit surprising that the Flyers, with an unlimited budget, didn’t have something in place already. We’ve already seen CapGeek go down before, so it’s not like this was unprecedented.
New era of orange!
Mind explaining the whole thing? Long time fan but never got into the business side of things. I’ve never been on capfriendly.
Thx!🧡🖤
Lou?! Ahead of the curve in Analytics?
Not surprised but I find this whole thing baffling. There is a $2.8B league wide salary cap the owners and players agreed to. Why doesn’t either side provide a means to measure the one thing that has caused entire seasons to be canceled.
I mean salaries and the cap are public info
Hire a data/viz analyst in a consulting role for 200k and a contracts lawyer for similar and they’ll hammer this out in a week or two
Wait, Chuck Fletcher said they had an app for this. Friedman seems to be saying that the Flyers DON’T. Was Fletcher just using fucking CapFriendly lol
I totally thought it was just for fan service until this happened. No idea teams actually relied on it
Fletcher had an app, we knew all along
