Avs Hire Chris MacFarland as Assistant GM
Earlier this afternoon, the Columbus Blue Jackets reported that Assistant GM Chris MacFarland would be leaving the org for a similar job with our beloved Avalanche.
MacFarland joined the Jackets in 1999, became Director of Hockey Operations in 2001 and was promoted to Assistant GM in 2007. He's been involved in many aspects of management including pro & amateur scouting, player development, contract negotiation, cap management and minor league hockey operations. If you want to put it in Avs Management terms, he would be very familiar with the duties now performed by Greg Sherman, Craig Billington and Brad Smith.
