Salary Chart updated for 2008-09!

[Matt 1,048]

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Salary Cap Chart & Contracts page here on LetsGoWings.com has been been given a facelift for the upcoming 2008-09 NHL season!

There you'll see where the Red Wings' stand in relation to the salary cap now and throughout the season with regular updates that will track how much the Red Wings have in active working cap space as the season progresses.

In addition to a cleaner, easier-to-read layout, the charts keep some of the same aspects that made it popular last year: the charts are completely sortable, be it by name, position, jersey number, cap number, daily hit, seasonal salary, etc. You can also view a quick contract information (such as date signed, bonus eligibility, etc.) by hovering your cursor over the player's name. Want to view their profile? Click on the name!

Not yet featured on the page is the Active Salary Cap Summary, which will track how much the Red Wings have spent toward the cap as the season goes on, along with projections on how much space they'll have left at the trade deadline (based on the roster at the time of the update) and at the end of the regular season.

Speaking of the Player Profiles mentioned above -- they're all completely updated for this season! New features this time around are individual Player News trackers, a Youtube Video feed to grab the latest videos related to a player, and sortable career regular season and playoff statistics!

Profiles for some of the Red Wings' prospects currently under contract will be added shortly, so stay on the lookout for them -- and other updates coming to the site this summer!

Matt,

Nice work and layout, much easier to read than previous charts, and the bottom line information is all at the top!

Also, cool roll over with the contract information. I also liked the flag for the player's native country next to their pic! Nice touch!
