R.I.P. GeneralFanager.com

[Stud Muffin]

Tom dosent own General Fanager anymore. He sold it to the Nation Network, they'll likely keep it running but just with out Tom.

 

[LeafChief]

As many have said, capfriendly.com is very good.

I have been using capfriendly over generalfanager for some time now.

Capfriendly is much closer to capgeek.

 

[Jumptheshark]

capgeek did all the work and others are reaping the rewards.

Not a very good business move for the website to not be available anymore and for it to say it's shutting down then

 

[Oscar Acosta]

Just read article on Nation Network about how much money and time they've sunk into getting a site like this, only to have it shut down like a week later. Unless they are planning to keep it going, that has to sting a lot.

Why doesn't the NHL run a site like this on their own? Surely they know there is demand for it among fans and teams alike.

They can't even make a proper website for the league.

Bettman doesn't believe so. He said after CapGeek ceased to exist that he doesn't believe the demand is there from fans for a resource like that which is clearly false

 

[sxvnert]

Weren't they just purchased by another website?

 

[sabresfan129103]

General Fanager was pretty good, but I use nhlnumbers.com for cap info. I like their layout. It's not fancy, but it's easy to read.

Congrats to the dude on getting picked up by Vegas though, that's an awesome opportunity.

Maybe they realize their own incompetence with nhl.com

I suspect that Tom Poraszka will likely be working closely with George McPhee as his cap numbers guy. I have to wonder now...if Matthew Wuest's life hadn't been taken by cancer at just 35, if he would have eventually landed a job with an NHL team as a cap-ologist, given how precious a commodity that is in today's NHL. (Guys like Poraszka might also be valuable to NFL teams.)

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I should start one of these sites...

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Spotrac is where it's at.

 

[Joe Sakic]

I'm surprised he doesn't just sell it.

I imagine here has to be interest.

The nation network who owns NHLNumbers bought generalfanager.

Somebody is updating the information, that's work too.

 

[JA]

I've found Spotrac to be another reliable option.

 

[Stuzchuk]

as a regular user, it sucks but I am also accustomed to capfriendly.com, so I'll survive I guess

 

[Peter Skudra]

Remember this guy saying on a podcast that he wasn't interested in using his site to get an NHL job. Obviously full of ****. Maybe this will get people to actually use CapFriendly which is far better and actually has a Armchair GM tool rather than acting like General Fanager was the only thing that existed.

Are you actually giving the guy **** for taking advantage of a once in a lifetime opportunity?

How could that help him get a NHL job?

 

[Curufinwe]

I used CF and GF because each site did some things better than the other.

It's a sad day to lose one of them.

 

[Zynbanejad]

Any other web devs on here wanna make the next best thing? PM me if interested.

I believe Bettman was asked about this once and he said something to the effect of, "The fans don't care about that stuff."

 

[Dod93Cityt]

Good thing I recently switched over to capfriendly
