Episode Details

Max Curran, the towering Czech forward now ranked 20th by the Flames, is poised for a fresh start after a trade that sent Nazem Kadri back to Colorado. Originally a fifth-round pick by Colorado in 2023, Curran’s path has been shaped by injuries and constant transitions—from Prague’s youth ranks to the WHL’s Tri-City Americans, where he exploded offensively and earned Scholastic Player of the Year. A trade to Edmonton followed, culminating in a silver medal with Team Czechia at the World Juniors—before a shoulder injury derailed his season. Now, he’ll suit up for UMass alongside two other Flames prospects, bringing his adaptability, hockey IQ, and all-around game to a college program primed to help him finally stay healthy and reach his full potential.
