The Nashville Predators hire former NHL player and Bruins executive Jamie Langenbrunner as special assistant to general manager Chris MacFarland. The move is reported as taking place on Wednesday. Langenbrunner brings an 18-year NHL playing career that includes 243 goals scored across stops with Dallas, New Jersey and St. Louis. His career also features two Stanley Cup championships, which sources note as victories during his time with Boston. In his new role with Nashville, the team says he will work on professional scouting and collegiate free-agent scouting and recruiting. He is also expected to handle additional “special assignments” as directed within the organization. MacFarland is the Predators’ new general manager, and Langenbrunner’s appointment is presented as part of the team’s broader front-office staffing as it prepares for the next NHL season. The reports do not include additional details about compensation or contract length, focusing instead on Langenbrunner’s history and the scouting responsibilities of his position.
