Predators Eye MacFarland for GM Role

Nashville’s Predators are poised to make a major move, eyeing Chris MacFarland—Colorado’s savvy GM since 2022—as their next leader. With Barry Trotz gone, the Predators are weighing whether to bring in MacFarland as GM or take him up a notch to president of hockey ops. A proven architect of Colorado’s dynasty, MacFarland helped build a roster around stars like MacKinnon and Makar, secured that blockbuster contract, and guided the Avalanche to a Cup in 2022. His 14-year Blue Jackets tenure and legal background add depth to his resume, making him a rare, well-rounded candidate ready to steer Nashville’s future.
