From Steven Ellis:
Quote:
. Max Curran, C, 18 (Edmonton Oil Kings, WHL)
Acquired: Drafted 161st overall, fifth round in 2024
At 6-foot-3, Curran has the size you hope for from a potential bottom-six player. He put up a quiet 32 points in his draft year, but he elevated his game with 74 points in 65 games in Tri-City. Now off to play for Edmonton, Curran will need to find another level in his game if he’s going to prove himself. His skating is still a work in progress, especially if he’s going to transition into more of an energy guy in the NHL. On the surface, he brings a lot to his two-way game that you want to see, but there’s still a long runway to become an NHLer.
