Colorado Avalanche president of hockey operations Joe Sakic is expected to stay as general manager indefinitely, with no search for a new GM scheduled, according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on Monday.
The outlet reports that Sakic already holds the hockey operations president role and added the general manager title in June after the Nashville Predators hired away Chris MacFarland from that function. The person speaking to AP describes the arrangement as Sakic taking on dual responsibilities, and said the discussion was shared on condition of anonymity because the Avalanche have not announced the decision publicly.
The second source provided by the user repeats the same AP-based framing without adding new details. Across the available accounts, there is agreement on the indefinite duration, the lack of a planned GM search, and the June timing of Sakic’s GM title addition.
