It won't happen until July, but according to multiple sources, the Washington Capitals have reached an agreement to purchase the outstanding CapFriendly website.
These same sources stressed that both the Capitals and CapFriendly wanted the site to be publicly available and independently operated through the 2024 NHL Draft and the start of free agency, so it is not expected the sale will be official until at least July 5.
Neither the team nor CapFriendly representatives would comment. Dominik Zrim, the website's co-owner and director, has worked in the NHL for Chicago and San Jose.
NHL teams that had agreements to use their tools/Application Programming Interface (API) recently received notice that these contracts would be terminated. This led to speculation that one club was buying the site, and all information pointed to the Capitals.
You can definitely see why a team would want this infrastructure. After the transaction officially closes, the website will go dark.
CapFriendly arrived in 2015, after its predecessor, CapGeek, closed. CapGeek's creator, Matthew Wuest, who built an indispensable site, died of colon cancer in March 2015. CapFriendly became an excellent substitute for fans and media.
