How new General Manager Chris MacFarland built the Predators' most effective line
The Nashville Predators hired new General Manager Chris MacFarland this offseason, with the expectation that he would help turn this roster into a contender. He hit the ground running, making a flurry of moves to add more depth. A trio of these newcomers has gone on to form the Preds' most effective line of the season.
As is the case with many GMs taking over in a new market, MacFarland first wanted to bring in some guys he was familiar with. Striking up a deal with the Colorado Avalanche, and old Coworker Joe Sakic, he acquired Ross Colton and goalie Isak Posch in exchange for goaltender Magnus Chrona and two third-round picks.
