BIG Avalanche Front Office Shakeup! Joe Sakic is stepping back in as Interim GM for the Colorado Avalanche after Chris MacFarland heads to Nashville as the new President of Hockey Operations and GM for the Predators. After helping build the 2022 Stanley Cup champion core alongside Sakic, MacFarland is taking his analytics-driven approach to the Music City. Now, the legendary Joe Sakic — Stanley Cup winner as both player and GM — returns to the GM chair for the draft, free agency, and the foreseeable future.
Is this the reset the Avs need to get back over the top? With a stacked core of MacKinnon, Makar, and more, could Sakic’s hands-on leadership spark another Cup run in 2026-27? Or is it time for fresh blood? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Delusional Avs fans SEETHING over Bednar staying lol. I LOVE IT
WoooHOOOO!!!! — CMACTASTROPHE is GONNEEEE!!!! OMG, I truly have renewed energy and hope for the AVs, finally, omg, finally we are back to 2022, we lost so much talent, so many years, I just hope Joe can tap into that extra gear and get Mac and the boys another Cup – but what a glorious day, CMACTASTROPHE IIIIIISSSSSSSS GOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Hey someone yell over to Chris Micelli – that I told you CMACTASTROPHE would be gone!!! – Ask him if he still has a crush on CMACTASTROPHE
To think that McFarlin was even CAPABLE of Replacing SAKIC is REDICULOUS!!!! To think for one second that SAKIC was not involved in EVERY ROSTER MOVE is just not true IMO
I like both decisions–Sakic taking over McFarland's role AND keeping Bednar. Calm down people!
Fix the coach and the players
Come back next season to win Stanley cup make it four in a row
I wouldn’t want my children anywhere near predators
