MacFarland Named Predators GM

Chris MacFarland is officially the new GM and president of hockey operations for the Nashville Predators, stepping in after Barry Trotz’s retirement. Former Avalanche GM and Stanley Cup winner, MacFarland brings elite pedigree after 16 years with Columbus and a key role in Colorado’s 2022 championship run. He’s been nominated for GM of the Year and was a top target for Haslam, who called him a “perfect fit.” Meanwhile, Joe Sakic takes over Avalanche GM duties temporarily, while MacFarland prepares to lead Nashville’s draft and free agency strategy.
