That sucks hard.

[The BBKL Insider]

Wow

[Nick]

Hmmm.. What to do what to do.

gg

[The BBKL Insider]

Who else has players salaries listed?

[kimmer]

fantrax...lol

[The BBKL Insider]

Ya I like fantrax. I have like 10mil in cap with their wrong salary listings

[Florida Chris]

Well, wonder why he would not sell the company. Even he is very sick, he could sell the company and give the money to his family or to a good charity.

[Arian The Insider]

A nhlnumbers.com still around?

[Lee]

Holy shit.

[Mike]

well that sucks. there will still be google cache of all the data.

I bet this pisses off NHL GMs about as much as it does us ;D


I'm sure there'll be a replacement up soon, lots of demand.

[Lee]

Elite prospects ain't bad, but it ain't great.

just went on to nhlnumbers.com, i checked about half my contracts, nhlers salaries were all correct, found about 3 discrepancies that were from ELCs (lower end prospects were more likely to be inaccurate, most likely because they don't come with as much scrutiny as 1st rd picks) which are a result of inaccurate bonus totals.. i think we would be fine using it going forward, if nothing a little more accurate comes up try to get secondary sources on bonus cap hit

[kyuss]

well that's sad and a bit shocking at the same time.

I mean, with the traffic that site had, one would guess it would be an easy sell..

[The BBKL Insider]

Id give him 10k for the site then hire cam, Dave and Tony to run it.

Any link we've posted on the site for a player goes directly to that message page. I don't know if there is any way to get the info off that site. I wish he'd at least left the site up and just didn't update it but it costs money to host of a site.

It's a valuable tool. I know NHL Network will reference it and I know the NHL satellite radio guys will use it as a source for contracts. It's the best site of its kind...hopefully someone else picks up the slack.

the waiver eligibility tool on there was amazing

hearing that NHLnumbers.com get's their data from GapGeek.com. CapGeek was one-of-a-kind
