Summary

Langenbrunner Hired

Nashville Predators hired Jamie Langenbrunner as Special Assistant to GM Chris MacFarland on Wednesday.
He will handle scouting and recruiting after leaving the Boston Bruins a month ago, where he spent ten years in player development and as assistant GM.
His playing résumé includes Stanley Cups with Dallas (1999) and New Jersey (2003), a 2010 Olympic silver as Team USA captain and induction into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.

Summary

Blake Joins Predators

The Predators hired former NHL star Rob Blake as executive vice president of hockey operations on June 5.
Chris MacFarland left the Avalanche after a Western Conference Final sweep and joined Nashville in early June.
MacFarland’s hiring pairs Langenbrunner’s scouting expertise with Blake’s playoff-building background, creating a championship-caliber staff.
The addition of forward Ross Colton and Mason Langenbrunner’s entry into the transfer portal show a coordinated push to boost depth and development.
