The dreaded day has finally come. CapFriendly has said goodbye to the world, and NHL fans everywhere, including fans of the Colorado Avalanche, have lost out on one of the greatest resources available on the internet.



Fear not, though. There is another website that has been around for a while and is looking to fill the void left by CapFriendly.

PuckPedia is another valuable resource available to fans, and since it was announced the CapFriendly was being purchased by the Washington Capitals, theyโ€™ve been making improvements to the site. You may have noticed them breaking signings on July 1 with free agency, so itโ€™s clear they have sources within the league to get them information.

Theyโ€™ve also improved the UI of the site and recently introduced their interactive Roster Management Suite called PuckGM, where fans can build teams and see if they fit in under the salary cap. Seeing as how it was just introduced, theyโ€™re continuing to make changes and upgrades to the page based on the feedback of everyone who uses it. Now is the time to mess around with it, because business in the NHL and with the Avalanche has essentially slowed to a crawl. Itโ€™ll likely stay that way until September, when players return for training camp.

So yes, itโ€™s a sad day for everyone that CapFriendly is no more. You can include media among those that are bummed, as we use these sites just as much as you, but itโ€™s not the end of the world. PuckPedia is here, and Iโ€™m sure other sites will start popping up in the near future.
