MacFarland Heads to Nashville

Chris MacFarland, Colorado Avalanche’s longtime GM and architect of their 2022 Stanley Cup run, is poised to join the Nashville Predators as president and GM — a move set to officially announce Tuesday.

MacFarland’s rise was cemented under Joe Sakic, who promoted him after the Cup win — a move that also delayed their end-of-season press conference. This seismic shift reshapes both franchises as they enter the offseason. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
