CapGeek.com was created to give fans a one-stop shop for NHL salary cap information and easy cap crunching. Fans and media can sit in the chair of any general manager in the league and assemble a roster, make trades, sign free agents, complete buyouts or review salary and cap hit data.

CapGeek.com is the creation of freelance hockey writer Matthew Wuest, who has spent the past decade writing about the sport for a variety of publications, including The Hockey News, ESPN, TSN.ca, NHL.com, McKeen's Yearbook, Halifax Daily News and Metro Halifax. For his work relating to CapGeek.com, The Hockey News ranked him 98th on its annual top 100 list of People of Power and Influence in 2011.

The site was featured on Yahoo.com's Puck Daddy blog in October 2009; in the Vancouver Province in October 2010; in the New England Hockey Journal in December 2010; and on TheGlobeAndMail.com in February 2011. It was referenced by Boston Bruins GM Pete Chiarelli in a media scrum when asked how much cap space his team had following the Marco Sturm trade early in the 2010-11 season.

It uses league, team, player and agent sources for contract details. For breaking contract details, it also relies on Internet and newspaper reports from sources with a proven track record of legitimacy and accuracy, and credits those sources appropriately. Contracts not verified by CapGeek.com directly through official NHL channels are noted as estimates until confirmed.

Chip McCleary, who previously operated NHLSCap.com, one of the original salary cap sites after the lockout, serves as a valuable consultant on numerous site features.
