Replacements For CapGeek

from Amalie Benjamin of the Boston Globe,

CapGeek’s absence has been felt around the hockey community, despite comments made by commissioner Gary Bettman in February. That goes for general managers — Chiarelli lamented its absence in a March press conference — as well as fans. And in recent weeks, new options have popped up for anyone who wants all things salary-related at his or her fingertips.

Just one week after its first tweet, and without any apparent attempts at publicity, General Fanager had already amassed 11,715 followers on Twitter. Hockey’s Cap has built a sleek website with an “Armchair GM” feature, as there was on CapGeek, and which General Fanager intends to add soon. And as part of a summer relaunch, NHLNumbers is beefing up the salary section of a site already known for its statistical prowess.

And those aren’t the only options. Greg Sinclair of hockeystats.ca raised $1,550 in four months on a GoFundMe campaign for a new CapGeek-type site, and CapFriendly has found its own following as a potential replacement.
