Interview with new Avs assistant GM Chris MacFarland
New Avalanche assistant general manager Chris MacFarland told me he will work alongside Craig Billington and Greg Sherman under GM Joe Sakic and head coach/hockey opps director Patrick Roy. It appears MacFarland will be Sakic’s day-to-day understudy, but the dynamics of it all is still in the works.
“My role from what I have been told is heavy on the pro side and assisting Joe Sakic and complimenting the pro staff,” MacFarland told me Monday night. “Craig (Billington) is a good friend of mine and does a great job, and runs the AHL side. I’m looking forward to getting in there and doing whatever they ask me to do.”
