A first-round pick of the Wings in 2008, McCollum was a fixture in Grand Rapids for seven seasons.

McCollum joined the Flames’ organization after the conclusion of the 2015-16 season; he did not dress for a Calgary NHL game last season. He played 17 games with the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers after being acquired by loan.
