I predict that Nazer will make EVERYONE forget about both Kirby and Colton Dach in 3 years.

They have similarities as players.
Nazar is kind of like a cross between Schmaltz and Point.
I think same... but- Nazar will shoot/score more... and is Built a little sturdier Schmaltz. Hope he can sty away from the Injury bug.
Can we bring back Hagel too while we're at it please?

If Nazar is Schmaltz, add another couple years to the rebuild. Dach is a much better player than Schmaltz. Schmaltz is a wanna be Radim Vrbata.

Right now Schmaltz is definitely the better player and I don't think it's particularly close. Dach may get there eventually but Schmaltz is a legit 65-75 point forward.

even with him somewhat playing up to his size now Dach still has an embarrassingly bad shot. There’s a reason if you watch his goals this year almost every single one of them is an easy tap in to an empty net or him jumping on a 2nd or 3rd chance opportunity (the garbage man goals if you will).

“I’m not as worried about the 5-on-5 scoring.”
I doubt Nazar is schmaltz. If that’s what really happens, then it’s no doubt a f*** up by Davidson.
I’m hoping Nazar is at least Trocheck, who is better than schmaltz. This is based on reading opinions from others though.
Reichel seems like a 2W, and Nazar like a 2C long term. Hopefully.

Schmaltz is a 100% perimeter player. He offers nothing on defense. I would take Dach all day, everyday and I was never a Dach fan. If Nazar is Schmaltz, Chicago is in real trouble.

I haven't kept up with him, but didn't he lead the team in takeaways when he was in Chicago?
I remember him being an adept pickpocket.
Perimeter player for sure though.

Schmaltz was good here until he started playing scared due to a few concussions.
Not saying that that is better than what Kirby will become, but there was a time when Nick Schmaltz played like a solid 1st liner for the Hawks.

First time I hear this comparison Nazar is Schmaltz. Add that Korchinski is all attack, no D a'la say Gustafsson and I wonder why we bother the rebuilt. These type of players are not core pieces.

Schmaltz is a total perimeter player.....Nazer is not, but you never know what happens after your first nasty cross check to the chops

They're similar in how they skate. If you watch them side by side, they move similarly. That's more or less where the comparison ends.
Point is the better overall comp for the kind of player Nazar is.

These are not the limits of these players nor are these the main core pieces. The 1st this year and probably next 2 years should be better picks that are bigger chances at being stars.
Teravainen was traded to help unload Bickells contracts...TT won a Cup, Bickell WON US the Cup in 2013 and won 3 Cups...TT was moved because the Hawks knew they had Schmaltz in the way, and they couldn’t pay TT in his next contract...
Schmaltz was traded for an already signed Strome because they couldn’t pay NS...Strome was let go because they couldn’t pay him...cycle

Huh? They could have paid Strome easily. The Blackhawks want the team to have players who work hard and skate well. Strome does neither so he was let go.

That's not why he was let go.
Strome was let go because they wanted to tank.
Strome has more points than anyone on the Hawks roster. That's bad for Bedard.

Frank Nazar- find my way into the slot and shoot no matter what
Nick Schmaltz- get into the slot and do anything but shoot
Wtf is this comparable? Completely different players.
