F Frank Nazar (2022, 13th, CHI)

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hawks will give him chance to win roster spot the same way they did Korchinski

If he plays well its his

They'd have to sign him and at this pace that isn't really destroying the NCAA, so it would likely be better for one more, especially considering he pretty much missed an entire year.

 

[ello]

Yeah I don’t think he’s ready, he’s quite raw and inconsistent . Probably another year in college and then AHL time . No need to rush

 

[Kevin Musto]

I think it's too early to say one way or another whether he signs this year.

Nazar was good enough to have been a one and done college prospect, but the injury affected his timeline.

As of today, I would let him play another year in college. However each game he looks more and more comfortable. If between January-March he goes on a tear, then signing likely makes sense.

I would sign him after this season if he plays in the AHL most of the year that is fine. you dont want himj to get to his JR year and then only be 1 year from being a UFA.

A lot Michigan's top talent is potentially signing with their NHL teams after this season. Could be a snowball effect even if some guys are maybe open to another college season.

I'd prefer if he didn't spend time in Rockford.

Yep. Agreed. Hopefully he picks it up even more 2nd half to make the decision more apparent.

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

Personally I think he needs another year of development at Michigan and then test the waters of free agency.

If he's some big prospect, which is questionable, he should know his worth on a playoff team instead of a bottom feeder.

Nazar and Moore on the pk together hmmmmmm,,,,,,,.

 

[Malaka]

Great showing so far in the WJC

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Nazar is a seriously underrated prospect. I've always liked him better than Moore. Nazar plays with a control of pace that will bring many points his way. I think he will be a dynamite linemate to Bedard in a couple years.

 

[Remparts666]

I’m impressed. I did not know he had that grit to his game.

He's been a dynamic playmaker in the WJC

If you head over to the Hawks board you’ll find many more similar posts from JFields.

Also, he's very speedy that Nazcar.

Finally has that hip surgery completely behind him. He was picking it up in November, had a great WJC, came back and their coach finally woke up and played him with Rutger and Brindley.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Nazar continues his strong play




now with 13 goals + 19 assists for 32 pts in 24 games

 

[tomd]

Kinda strange that he is a -4 on the year with most of his teammates well into the plus category. Lots of PP points?

He doesn’t play PP1.

He didn’t really play with Rutger and Brindley 5 on 5 until after the WJC and took all the defensive matchups early on.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Nazar with another assist last night and now has 13 G + 21 A for 34 pts in 27 games

He now tied for 2nd in scoring on Wolverines one point behind McGroarty
