Curtis Douglas: our analysis
2025-26 season: 14 GP, 1 G, 1 A, 2 PTS, -4 +/-, 8:22 TOI. WAR -0.4 (568th of 615) · PAL 43, around average.
In 2025-26, Curtis Douglas, 26, posts a PAL Rating of 43 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of -0.4 ranks 568th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 62 (good value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Curtis Douglas's story
He made a visible jump in Windsor after being moved there midway through the 2017–18 OHL season following a season and a half in Barrie. The 2019–20 campaign became his statistical high-water mark in juniors, when he finished with 30 goals and 30 assists for 60 points while wearing the Windsor Spitfires uniform.
Selected 104th overall in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars, Douglas's path to the NHL passed through several leagues and rosters. He spent time in the AlpsHL before returning to North America and being assigned to Belleville in 2021. His AHL stops include the Senators, the Toronto Marlies and the Tucson Roadrunners, where he gathered professional minutes and adapted to a faster, more physical game.
Douglas reached the NHL on 9 October 2025, two days after being claimed off waivers from Utah Mammoth. His debut against the Ottawa Senators included a confrontation with Kurtis MacDermid that resulted in his first penalty minutes at the top level. His first NHL point arrived a month later, on 12 November 2025, an assist on a Scott Sabourin goal against the New York Rangers.
The 2025–26 season brought further movement. Tampa Bay put him on waivers on 5 March 2026 and Vancouver claimed him the next day. He scored his first NHL goal on 12 April 2026 in a 4-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks. Shortly after that season, on 1 July 2026, Douglas signed a two-year, $2.5 million contract as a free agent with the Seattle Kraken.
On the ice, his game reads as straightforward and hard-nosed: he plays with physical intent, answers the body contact required at the professional level and contributes in both ends of the rink. Those traits—work ethic, willingness to engage and a developing offensive touch—have punctuated a career defined by steady progression through junior and minor pro ranks.
