Sakic Returns as Full-Time GM | Colorado Avalanche News

Joe Sakic is back in the driver’s seat as Colorado Avalanche general manager, officially stepping into the role after Chris MacFarland’s departure to Nashville. With a nine-year GM tenure and a Stanley Cup win under his belt in 2022, Sakic brings unmatched continuity to a roster built for glory — anchored by stars Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar. Already deeply involved this offseason, Sakic helped secure key signings and Makar’s extension, ensuring the team stays on course without upheaval. Backed by trusted assistants Kevin McDonald, Andrew Wilson, and special advisor Andrew Cogliano, Sakic is poised to lead the Avalanche through their championship window with the same vision that brought them a title — and another shot at hockey’s ultimate prize.
