Craig Billington, Avalanche assistant GM, still hard at work during hockey’s “pause”
David Zalubowski, The Associated PressWork rarely stops for an NHL executive, particularly an assistant general manager who oversees the club’s minor-league system.
Craig Billington is that top-to-bottom workaholic in Colorado, overseeing all player-personnel moves with the Colorado Eagles and reporting to Avalanche GM Joe Sakic.
During the NHL’s “pause” because of the coronavirus pandemic, Billington is still a busy guy — and feeling fortunate that he can devote so much time on building for the future. He and Sakic, along with co-assistant GM Chris MacFarland (who works directly with the Avs), are approaching their five-year anniversary together.
