You would think the NHL would offer an official salary info database to teams that they could build off. Outside of the data itself, most developers could probably re-create 95% of the functionality of capfriendly in two weeks - its not splitting the atom in terms of what it is doing. But capfriendly is user friendly which a lot of internal tools are not which is a lot of the battle when it comes to internal tools.

This is what I don't understand - the League ABSOLUTELY MUST have it's own similar database already, THey have to check that all teams are complying with cap, roster limits, etc.
It by definition has to be at least as good as CapFriendly.
So, the Caps CAN'T be buying capfriendly for the data - they must have all of the data from the league already.
