We knew this would happen after the draft and free agent craze, but we didn’t know exactly when.
I don’t know about you, but every morning, I went to see if CapFriendly still existed for the public. And every morning, I told myself that we were still buying each other time.
You’ll understand that it was this morning, when my computer needed a reboot, that CapFriendly was officially no longer in public use. The data now belongs to the Capitals.
So it’s well and truly the end.
Farewell, @CapFriendly.
You guys took what CapGeek and General Fanager started, then raised the bar in a significant way. Thank you for everything.

Obviously, everyone had gotten used to CapFriendly’s interface and changing sites is a shame. And while the same thing happened when CapGeek closed its doors, adapting to a new site like this isn’t easy for everyone.
This is clearly PuckPedia’s finest hour, and it’s also a good resource in terms of contracts.
That said, if you go to the Habs page, you’ll see that the important information remains the same as on CF. You can see a breakdown of the contracts of each of the club’s players, and the prospect bank is at the bottom of the page.
In my opinion, this will become as popular as CapFriendly was… and maybe it will make an NHL club want to buy the site.
