The Hart Trophy goes to the NHL's most valuable player. Fittingly, the MVP of NHL fans, media and general managers has the same name.
Maybe that's high praise, but Hart Levine's website, PuckPedia, saved the hockey media world two years ago.
For years, NHL fans — and some front offices — relied on CapFriendly for all of their league-wide contract information. It showed the term and value of every contract, along with each team's cap projections and a number of other pieces of key information. It was the go-to resource for anyone wanting to keep track of the numbers, whether for work or recreation.
In the summer of 2024, the Washington Capitals ruined it.
Their intent was to gain a competitive advantage by hiring the folks who ran the site to their hockey operations team. As big as the opportunity was for Jamie, Ryan and Chris Davis, the brothers behind CapFriendly, it threw the rest of the hockey world into a state of frenzy.
