General Fanager (CapGeek Replacement)

[SpookyTsuki]

I dont care about the name leaning on liking it. Better then some random name, right?

 

[Marshal Rochambeau]

If the site is functional the name is irrelevant.

 

[discordant concord]

I hate NHLNumbers so they now have my business.

Yep! You can't find next years cap info. CapGeek was the best!

If the site is functional the name is irrelevant.

A better name might lead to more people using it. If more people use it, more time will be spent updating it, and so on.

If the site is functional the name is irrelevant.

If you have a brand or a service that everyone wants, sure. This addresses the interests of an extraordinarily niche market, one that even most diehard hockey fans aren't terribly interested in. CapGeek or even NHLNumbers give you a strong indication of what the site is all about. General Fanager sounds like one of a million fantasy sports sites.

I like the homepage. Very basic, but very "cool" looking. tee hee. Mistakes happen, but they will be sorted out over time.

My only issue is the name (as others have already pointed out). -- It's terrible. It's as if they picked a bunch of names from a hat and combined them.

 

[Super Cake]

I don't like the name, but it makes sense honestly.

Www.nhlnumbers.com has been around for a while, and is always reliable. Doesn't seem to get the attention, though.

 

[SharksCyclops]

I don't like the name, but it makes sense honestly.

If they can really emphasize playing "Armchair GM" (which I haven't played too much on the site yet) and having fun with creating ridiculous scenarios, it's a pretty practical name.

Either way, I will be using the term "Fanager" a lot from now on.

As others have said, they don't have next years cap info up and that is the big thing.

 

[Numz]

Love the site!

Really like that you can see players stats along with their contract info.

Really disliked the name, TBH I've already forgotten it. Good thing I have it bookmarked!

 

[eyetest is useless]

not sure why this is a thread, after all only the media cares for salary information, fans don't

 

[Agalloch]

Love that the draft picks are there too.

 

[carolinacanuck]

cap central on hockeybuzz beats this so far, although i hate that cap central took this year's salaries down. like another poster said, would be good to compare salaries for UFA's and RFA's.

and generalfanager needs a catchy tagline for the site.

 

[Jeffrey]

WTF is tha name?
They could have named Cap Fapper and it would be even better.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

That's really nice. Especially the CapGeek tributes.

Agreed. Very nice touch.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Content filter on my work computer indicates "Malicious Outbound Data/Botnets". Not sure if the filter is being overly cautious or what.

 

[Unspecified]

Cool site horrible domain name.

 

[BonMorrison]

Great site and like their little tribute to CapGeek. Definitely following them on Twitter and bookmarking the page.

 

[DL44]

The site is good to have as an option for those that don't like other sites for the variety of reasons they have...

The best part of this new particular site for me is how they've laid out all the draft picks and who owns what pick with the trades that are tied to them:

We'll see how he manages to clean it up, otherwise, Cap Central is pretty beautiful now in it's clarity and layout.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

Www.nhlnumbers.com has been around for a while, and is always reliable. Doesn't seem to get the attention, though.

That's because it kind of sucks. It doesn't have all the information, and the layout/UI are lacking. I went on General Fanager for 20 seconds and saw immediate advantages to it over NHL Numbers.

 

[Woodrow]

I like the name

 

[Seachd]

I'm not sure if anyone in the thread has mentioned it yet, but the name is stupid.

So was CapGeek, but people liked the site.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

I like the name

I like the name as well, but I do agree with a number of people in that it's not a great descriptive name.

If you find any mistakes, you can tweet the guy. Same @ as the website name, and they will fix any errors
