Flames Acquire Olofsson, Curran from Avalanche

0:00For the Calgary Flames, it's March 6. Here's what's happening. Calgary Flames pulled off a major trade with the Colorado Avalanche. They picked a Ford Victor Olopson, prospect center Max Kern, a conditional 2028 first-round pick, and a conditional 20. 27 second-round pick. In exchange, Colorado got center Nazem Kadri, plus Calgary's 2027 fourth-round pick. The flames are holding on to 20% of Kadri's salary. Victor Olopson brings solid scoring punch. The 30-year-old left-shooting winger from Sweden has suited up for 60 games with the AFS this season. He's notched 11 goals and 14 assists, totaling 25 points. Over his NHL career, Olopson has played 430 games across Buffalo, Vegas, and Colorado. That adds up to 236 points, including 116 goals and 120 assists. Drafted by Buffalo in the 7th round back in 2014, he's a proven veteran.

1:00Meanwhile, Max Kern looks like a bright future piece. This 6-foot-3 18-year-old center from Czechia plays for the Edmonton Oil Kings in the WHL. In 31 games this season, he's racked up 14 goals and 27 assists for 41 points. Kern earned a silver medal with Czechia at the 2026 World Junior Championship, picking up 5 points in 7 games. Colorado took him in the 5th round, 161st overall in 2024. Those conditional picks give Calgary flexibility down the road. This episode is supported by our sponsor, C Details in the Description.
