I don’t understand the purpose of buying it. Do they not want people looking at players contracts? It’s so odd to me

Yea was wondering the same thing. What motive do they have?

Scheffler won again 🤷🏻‍♂️

That course is one of the seasons hardest they were saying. Rough is like hay

Not going to make a difference but why not take 30 seconds to try

I’m so angry about this. Unfettered Capitalism is a disease that only makes us regular people worse off. Call me a commie if you must but how can anyone argue this is good for anyone? Hope people don’t forget about this next season and make the franchise hear about it every night

Do you know why they want to buy it? It doesn’t make sense to me

I’m pretty sure every team uses this because it’s just the best tool out there. The other teams will just pay people to make their own version for them and get to use it anyway while fans lose it entirely

I could be wrong but I don’t think the motivation is keeping it from the fans. CF gives licenses to the teams to use their interface. So by doing this, those licenses are terminated and now Caps have sole possession and no other teams are allowed to use it. Still a terrible thing and will sign the petition.

Ahh ok, didn’t realize teams use it too. Thought it was just for us fans and random people

Motivation is irrelevant for us fans because no matter what they are the impact to us is the same. But I’m sure the motivation is to get a leg up on other teams. As you said

It's such a shame too. I remember I think capGeek was the first one I remember back in like ~2008 and it was perfect. And then they're like "we're shutting it down" and CapFriendly got to a great place too. But it's a shame, these free to use tools/services that end up in the wrong hands OR that the people who made it don't want to keep maintaining it because it gets expensive to run.

I also imagine though when CapFriendly goes down or whatever, someone will rebuild it for fans (I hope)

CapGeek shut down because the guy that owned/ran it was dying, and ultimately passed, from colon cancer.

The news about CapFriendly does suck but I am assuming that another one will spring up in its place eventually.

I'm annoyed too, not saying anyone shouldn't be. PuckPedia is a solid alternative though. I think SportTrac has some functionality but I've never used it.

I don't like the PuckPedia interface as much as CapFriendly but I'll adapt

AH i forgot about the guy from capgeek, good call. Wish he had, had a team that could of taken it on, BUT to peoples credit it seems like these are just passion projects for certain individuals. They making no money for great content that we can all use.
