## Resource

Locked On Predators is back as we detail a handful of hires made by new general manager Chris MacFarland. He introduced himself to the media, speaking of the deep prospect group and the dangers of being in the "mushy middle." He also announced the hires of Hall of Famer Rob Blake as VP of Hockey Operations and two-time Stanley Cup champion Jamie Langenbrunner as a special assistant to the GM. At the same time, longtime front-office member Brian Poile announced his departure from the organization. Could there be more new hires on the horizion?
