The name "Cap Me Honest" is a play on the phrase "keep me honest." In everyday language, “keep me honest” is a way of asking others to hold you accountable, making sure you stay on track or act with integrity.
CapMeHonest.com adapts this phrase with a hockey twist: it focuses on the cap, referring to the salary cap that each team in the league must follow. This website is designed to track whether teams stay compliant with these salary cap rules, providing transparency and insights into contract signings, trades, roster moves as well as player performance data.
By calling it "Cap Me Honest," the site emphasizes its goal of promoting accountability in team management, helping fans see if teams are managing their finances and rosters responsibly within league guidelines. Additionally, the site is committed to applying the same level of accountability to itself, ensuring that all data is accurate and up to date for its users.
