Nashville's new GM's flurry of moves designed to get the Predators back to playoffs
Chris MacFarland is working to revitalize the Nashville Predators and make them contenders. Fans wanted a fresh start, and MacFarland, hired in June, is the team's new president of hockey operations. He spent 11 seasons with Colorado, the last four as general manager. MacFarland quickly revamped the front office and roster, bringing in new talent and making strategic trades. The focus is on speed, a familiar strategy from his time with the Avalanche.
The Predators aim to start the season strong after missing the playoffs three times in four years.
