The popular website CapFriendly recently went dark after being acquired by the Washington Capitals. It’s a development that many in the league are very happy about.
Elliotte Friedman talked about that the NHL’s reaction to the sale on in a recent episode of the 32 Thoughts Podcast.
“The NHL believes they should not be in the business of publishing this stuff,” Friedman said. “As a matter of fact, I have been told several times that the relationship between the NHL and CapFriendly was quite icy. It’s not only the league that feels that way, I’ve heard some teams are adamant about that too.
