Seals Place Franchise Tag on Zach Currier

The Seals announced on Friday that they’d placed the Franchise Tag on 2026 NLL Transition Player of the Year and All-NLL selection Zach Currier.

In 2026, Currier was named first-team All-NLL and claimed his third-career Transition Player of the Year Award after an outstanding season that saw him score a single-season career-best 22 goals while scooping up 200 loose balls. It was his third career Transition Player of the Year Award (2022 and 2023 with Calgary) and the fourth time in his career that he collected 200-or-more loose balls.

Currier almost single-handedly put the Seals on his back to get the team into the postseason and then help it advance to the brink of the NLL Finals. In what were essentially must-win games for the Seals late in the regular season, Currier had a goal and three assists against Georgia and just five nights later, he scored a career-high five goals in a 14-12 win over Las Vegas that helped clinch a playoff berth. That performance would ignite a seven-game stretch, including playoffs, during which Currier scored 16 goals, recorded 22 assists, scooped up an astounding 80 loose balls and forced nine turnovers.
