The two-time Stanley Cup champion will help out with pro and college scouting, recruiting, and special assignments.<\/p>\n<p>Nashville made the move official:<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the latest piece of a front office that looks nothing like it did a month ago. Nashville brought in MacFarland to run hockey operations and added <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginohard.com\/predators-hire-rob-blake-evp-hockey-operations\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rob Blake<\/a> as executive vice president. Now they have another ex-player with management experience in the building.<\/p>\n<p>Langenbrunner, 50, spent the last decade climbing the ladder in Boston. He started as a development coach in 2015, moved up to director of player development, and took over as assistant GM in 2022. A month ago, he left the Bruins to chase a new opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>His name had surfaced for a few bigger openings this offseason, including New Jersey and Vancouver. Instead he lands in Nashville under MacFarland.<\/p>\n<p>As a player, he did plenty of winning. He hoisted the Cup with Dallas in 1999, then again with the Devils in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>There is more to the resume. He captained Team USA to a silver medal at the 2010 Olympics, wrapped a 1,109-game career with St. Louis in 2014, and earned a spot in the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p>This makeover started in the GM chair, and it has not stopped there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo by Sarah Connors \/ CC BY 2.0 Highlights Nashville hired Jamie Langenbrunner as Special Assistant to GM&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":601357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5120],"tags":[71,1651,5,62350,231,4,5151,534,84,5285,5284],"class_list":["post-601356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-louis-blues","tag-blues","tag-chris-macfarland","tag-hockey","tag-jamie-langenbrunner","tag-nashville-predators","tag-nhl","tag-nhl-offseason","tag-st-louis","tag-st-louis-blues","tag-stlouis","tag-stlouisblues"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116769647975337887","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=601356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/601357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=601356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=601356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=601356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
