So this just happened.. only reason they would do it would be so the other teams can't use it.. turn it into a competitive advantage..
https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/capitals-reach-agreemen t-to-purchase-capfriendly-website/

It was the best site t for the public to find out about teams and players transaction status

I curse the Capitals





Lol, what bastards.

I guess opens the opportunity for another math/website dev wizard to make a bundle of cash creating the next site that some other team will inevitably buy. Happy for the next guy in advance.


I don't know.. I think its not just the software, or search engine, that makes it valuable.. its the content.. that's a life time of data entry!.. especially the transaction histories.. I think a lot of the data can't be auto-downloaded to the program.. a lot of manual effort..


Definitely lots of info, but people could copy it all right now if they wanted to. There must be resources to tap into to get the same data.

Maybe others have other interpretations, but to me the value is how well presented all this info is, how quickly it updated, and how accurate it all stays. Someone else could do this. It's just that there was no need with how well established capfriendly is. Competition about to blow open, and clearly there is a huge financial incentive for someone to create another nice site. I don't think it will take too long for some decent alternatives to appear.


And two years from now we're in exactly the same situation after the winning clone gets bought up again.
