| Preds Hire MacFarland to Rebuild Smart | 09 Jun 2026 | 00:01:37 | |
Nashville Predators tap Chris MacFarland, Cup-winning Avalanche exec, as new GM to steer them back on track without a full rebuild. With veterans like Roman Josi and rising young talent, the focus is on smart roster tweaks—not teardowns. Marchessault, once a star, could become trade bait if MacFarland needs to reshape the roster. The goal? Rebuild momentum and get back to playoff contention.

| Filip Forsberg's Quiet Fire | 09 Jun 2026 | 00:01:43 | |
Filip Forsberg’s recent scoring explosion—five straight games, including back-to-back hat tricks—has teammates like P.K. Subban giving him space, knowing he’s on fire. Yet Forsberg stays humble, comparing his run to his Swedish youth days. His lethal shot, honed during summer training with a custom backstop, has netted 90 goals since 2015. But he’s more than just a scorer—he’s sharpening his defense, stripping pucks, and playing key roles on the penalty kill. Former captain Mike Fisher sees leadership potential in his relentless work ethic and positive attitude, proving Forsberg is evolving into a true NHL cornerstone.

Nashville Predators GM Chris MacFarland has tapped Hall of Fame defenseman Rob Blake as the team’s first-ever executive vice president of hockey operations, bringing decades of NHL experience and player credibility to the front office.

This move, alongside expanding analytics, underscores MacFarland’s commitment to building a smarter, more resilient Predators organization.
