NHL salary resource Capgeek.com ceases operations permanently

Indispensable NHL salary database Capgeek.com has permanently ceased operations, the site announced Saturday evening.

The move was announced on the website:

Effective immediately, Jan. 3, 2015, CapGeek.com has permanently ceased operations. This sudden decision is made with a heavy heart and is due to the personal health of CapGeek.com founder and director Matthew Wuest. While this decision may raise many questions, it is requested that you respect Matthew's privacy and wish for no media or purchase inquiries. Thank you for your co-operation and understanding at this difficult time.

A crucial resource for hockey media and even player agents, Capgeek.com was the single most reliable and credible resource for NHL salary and contract information. Because the vast majority of NHL teams do not publicly reveal contract details, the information found at Capgeek.com was particularly crucial - even game-changing.
