Mackcanuck Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Tom Poraszka, founder of GeneralFanager.com, has been hired by the Las Vegas NHL expansion team as a hockey operations analyst. http://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/nhl-vegas/las-vegas-nhl-franchise-hires-generalfanagercom-founder-analyst After Capgeek, General Fanager was my go to site, Oh well, will find another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I was directed towards CapFirendly yesterday, and to be honest, it might actually be better. It doesn't have the simple navigation and great layout that General Fanager has though. Really happy that all the hard work Tom did has paid off. Such a useful website for fans. Surprised NHL.com hasn't made their own Tool or even bought CapGeek/GeneralFanager. I haven't gone to NHL.com more than a couple times since they updated the site. And every time I forget they changed the site, and just leave right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agoork Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Tom did a great job with General Fanager. Strange though.... I exchanged emails with him about a month ago and he had just sold the company to the Nations Network (Canucks Army, Flames Nation, Oilers Nation, etc) and was going to be working with them. Now that he has shut down the web site and is going to work for Vegas, I wonder if the Nations Network is going to do something with the database, etc or if they will just let it disappear? For those of you that are not aware of it, I run NHLarmchairGm.com and use pretty much the same contract info etc that Cap Friendly and General Fanager use. My site just presents the info in a much different way. If you like to play with the team line-ups, explore trade options, etc give it a try.

PlanB Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 It was a useful site, however if there's a need - and more importantly a buck to be made - there's always going to be someone ready and willing to fill the void. Competition off the ice is as strong as it is on the ice in some ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaSwede Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Can anyone explain why capgeek was shut down but all these other sites popped up after? Was it just closed by the site owners or the NHL? I can't remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Juice Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 While not the most reliable anymore, I still find nhlnumbers.com easy to read and navigate through the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
