What CapGeek started and Cap Friendly is continuing is giving fans the opportunity to be even more informed about players, teams and the NHL as a whole.

“I can tell you we get a lot of people who are really interested in the site and the numbers and how much players make and how teams’ salary caps work because it allows them to peek into how front offices work and what they’re looking at,” Dominik said. “Fans are really knowledgeable and they’re looking for new way to interact with their favorite players and teams. Twenty-five years ago, that was looking at the back of baseball cards to see how tall he is, how many points he has. We’ve gotten to the point where we’re looking at salary cap information and we’re examining players that way. It helps them better understand the game and their team. They’re better educated about their team. That’s why they like it. It draws them closer to their favorite club.”

Really happy the site exists and still sad about CapGeek and it's founder. The fact the league isn't the entity doing this is criminal. Hope these guys keep going and hope that they find a way to make it profitable for them because it is great work.

That is nice--lots of different information and well-presented.  Do you know what the numbers (usually three digits) to the right of the players' names mean?
