Sprigings Joins Predators After Avalanche | Colorado Avalanche News

Dawson Sprigings, Colorado Avalanche analytics veteran, has jumped ship to join Nashville Predators as assistant GM under former Avalanche exec Chris MacFarland — the first from Colorado’s hockey ops to make the move. MacFarland, who left Colorado after playoff elimination to take the Preds’ top job, has already reshaped the roster with key acquisitions like Ross Colton and Jack Drury, plus signing Jack Ahcan — three former Avalanche playoff players now in Nashville. While MacFarland’s Colorado collaborators like Kevin MacDonald and Andrew Cogliano stayed put, he’s built his new front office with Rob Blake and Jamie Langenbrunner before bringing in Sprigings. This roster and front office overhaul signals a bold new direction for the Predators — and a reminder of how quickly sports organizations evolve when leadership shifts.
