  1. We know every contract in the league, from McDavid to a random 3rd pair D. If the NHL wants to keep things like bonuses a secret I can understand that but so far as salaries go, we know all of them, and every contract is announced by the insiders when signed.

  2. Steve isn't wrong about Sportsnet / the NHL. He said they should do it, he didn't say they will. They won't because the league views it as private info, but Adam supposedly agrees that it shouldn't be private, so Steve isn't wrong in saying that they should do it. IDK why Adam's so adamant that Steve is supposedly wrong as if he's predicting the league will build their own CapFriendly

  3. 1) The site can't come down until the transaction is complete, which the press release said won't happen until mid-July. 2) Great for them that they sold their product. 3) What benefit will it be for the Caps once they own it: I presume that insiders from other teams will talk to the brothers anymore thus ending the flow of new data…

  4. The problem isn’t that the Capitals are buying cap-friendly, the problem is that the site isn’t staying up.
    The entity that that should be buying this is the NHLPA for the coding and let the Dominic Brothers go off to nhl teams.
    Unfortunately the players just aren’t forward thinking enough.😢

  5. We are happy for them. Why would you regurgitate negative views that most of us did not participate in.
    Your fans and hockey fans loooved the website, now we're loosing it. That's why most of us adults are displeased.

  6. This is a net negative for hockey in every way. This closes so many doors but good for the brothers on getting their bag. Rip Capfriendly

  7. Here's a simple fact: If salaries aren't public, players will get paid less. That's the whole point of the players having a union.
