Predators Hire MacFarland to Lead Hockey Operations

The Nashville Predators just pulled off a major move, hiring Chris MacFarland as their new GM — the same guy who built Colorado’s 2022 Stanley Cup champs and led them to nine straight playoff appearances. With a track record of smart signings, elite team-building, and even a GM of the Year finalist nod, MacFarland brings serious firepower. He’s got deep roots in hockey ops, having spent 16 years with Columbus and played college ball himself. Former GM Barry Trotz is now stepping back into an advisory role, ready to help MacFarland hit the ground running. Expect big things as the Predators gear up for the draft and free agency — this is a new era, built for success. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
