2) Fans try to understand why certain moves are made. Why a player was 'bought out/traded, etc? By publishing these numbers for all 30 teams and updating them daily throughout the season, and periodically during the off season based upon trades, contract extensions, call-ups/demotions/long term injury,etc we the paying public could get to know what/why things are happening to our teams.
3) We've written to owners/teams and the NHL on a few occasions with respect to this matter and thus far have not received an answer back. This wouldn't be a difficult to do. This process/numbers we are told already is done daily, but not made public. It just would be a simple matter for the league to make these figures open to the their fans (the ones who pay the bills!). We believe it would be a VERY popular destination on the NHL.com website. It wouldn't cost much if anything for the league to implement this. So why not do it? Is there something to hide/be embarrassed about?

McPhee told a local reporter recently when asked about the salary cap probalems that we are having that we weren't as bad off as some have written. I was like ok, george, tell us how. I checked that web site and it says we're right up against the limit. It would be great if the NHL forced teams to show us what we are paying for. I agree it would be a very busy web destination
Its a great idea faux. Which means it has a snowballs chance in LA getting done.
Firstly, GREAT picture of BUTTman... I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of a regular cap liability update... It makes good sense and would possibly clear up a lot of confusion regarding personnel moves - which is probably why BUTTman isn't behind such an idea...
Hey Faux, are you not doing polls this year? - haven't seen one in a while...
1) Great point Antz! Its been a while. We have been thinking of a few ideas in that direction. probably not until mid September when camps open and interest increases.
