Third GM in #Smashville's 27-year history.
Still wild to think about considering zero Stanley Cups and 1 conference final appearance.
New vision from outside is a breath of fresh air for this franchise!
As Chris MacFarland assumes control of the #Preds hockey ops department, Barry Trotz now transitions into an advisory role following a three-season tenure as the team’s GM. MacFarland becomes the third GM in Preds history and the second to hold the president of hockey ops title.
The #Preds fanbase hasn't gotten this big of a jolt of energy in a while.
Welcome onboard, Chris McFarland. Be prepared for everyone to hate you and remind you everything they would've done differently by Christmas.
Welcome to Smashville, Chris! 👋
We're proud to announce that Chris MacFarland has been hired as our President of Hockey Operations and General Manager.

Chris McFarland….
- has legit league experience running one of the best teams from the past few years
- will not be afraid to rebuild if he deems it necessary
- oversaw a team go from the joke of the league to the gold standard
Using the term home run can be dramatic. I seriously think the #Preds hit one here. Holy hell. Take a bow, Bill Haslam
Justus Annunen's hot streak of play between the pipes carries over into #Preds offseason as he gets #Finland to Gold at the IIHF Men's World Championship.
If Juuse Saros can ever find his mojo again and Annunen keeps this up, Nashville is going to have one helluva 1A/1B.
If you missed it last week, me and @MaxGreenberg176 did a live fantasy draft making our All-Time #Preds starting lineup.
We had rules for each rd. Like "draft only a forward" or "only from expansion team".
Check it out on Ep296 of @CatfishIce below ⬇️

#Preds goaltender Justus Annunen puts forth a 19-save shutout as Finland wins Gold at the #MensWorlds with a 1-0 overtime victory. Roman Josi and Switzerland settle for silver.
How the Stanley Cup Final teams were built.
Only two players selected by either team in the first round. Only one top-5 pick (Svechnikov at No. 2... and oddly enough, Carolina only had the 11th-worst record that year. Big lottery luck).
Dan Hamhuis was definitely a miss by Chad and Max looking back on it.
They had an exact starting lineup position by position they had to fill, so in the later rounds it got tricky.
Send us yours based on each round's rules. Thanks for listening!

@CatfishIce@chad_minton@MaxGreenberg176 I can’t believe You guys took Brady Skeji and Ryan McDonagh in best traded round over one of the nhl’s all time greats and also took Marchessault and stamkos career play but not Forsberg?
Also Dan (hammer) Hamhuis should be on the D list over Boullion and Lauzon.
@jtriggrman There were some tough rules for each round. For instance one round we could only draft a player from 2009 to 2019. So there were times when we couldn't draft players we wanted. Give it a listen if you'd like. Was a lot of fun for old school Preds fans.
@CatfishIce@chad_minton@MaxGreenberg176 An all time line-up that has Lauzon in it but not Hamhuis? Marchesault? JP Dumont, Marty Erat not listed but Janrkrok is? Hell Legwand was better than Jarnkrok. Did you all just start following the Preds?
@jtriggrman@chad_minton@MaxGreenberg176 Martin Erat is on there. Every round had certain rules based on who you can draft based on particular position/era/ etc.
Yes, we're aware certain great players were not drafted, but appreciate your wisdom JJ.
In Ep.296, @chad_minton & @MaxGreenberg176 did a live fantasy draft building their all-time #Preds starting lineup using specific rules for each round.
Vote below on whose team would come out on top in a 7-game series.
