Prospect Info: (F) Frank Nazar - 2022 NHL Draft, 13th Overall

[RememberTheRoar]

Don’t know to copy tweets or that techie crap but on Chicago Blackhawks prospects Twitter there’s a report that Frank is skating and if everything goes well we might see him play in a few weeks.

Cool, ready to be 1C by the start of next season?

For us? No imagine he spends next year with Michigan

Ya, I’d imagine too. Unfortunately

Nothing but time and patience should be in order going forward

Fantabulous! I hate the thought of him missing an entire year during this stage of his development. Hopefully the report is true and he can get in some games this season.

 

[clydesdale line]

Hopefully Nazar can get some games in before the season ends. Would be a nice development for him missing so much time that he can jump right into action and hold his own.

Nonsense. Power from the athletic says Debrincat will sign with us.

We’ll be back in no time; Draft Bedard, plug Nazar & Korchinski in —Plan the parade

Powers did not say that.

He said he could see Cat having some interest coming back as a ufa, because he and his wife liked the area. That hardly means he's going to return.

Here’s the quote of what he wrote. Bold is my emphasis.

“Honestly, I didn’t think this was a possibility until I heard it from someone in the know. If DeBrincat doesn’t sign a long-term deal with Ottawa, which doesn’t seem to be imminent, and finds himself a UFA after the 2024-25 season, it sounds like the Blackhawks could explore signing him again.”

 

[Chuck Testa]

I would like to see Cat return to the Hawks. Kane and Toews deals are ending after this season and I enjoyed watching him play.

 

[clydesdale line]

Draft Bedard. Next season draft Celebrini/Kiviharju or Eiserman. Season after that, sign DeBrincat and give him the C.

Plan is all coming together.

Only if it's not anything close to 10mil.

Bummer - I saw the Nazar thread had some recent entries so naturally I thought there may be some new news ... nope, just some non-Nazar comments. I'm not surprised.

Sorry, I didn’t realize.

From January 24th...

No. 7 Michigan returns home after big win, but injuries continue to mount

The Wolverines topped No. 2 Minnesota in OT Saturday but two key players suffered injuries.

www.mlive.com

But Michigan has battled the injury bug all season, even before its opener. Freshman forward Frank Nazar, the No. 13 overall pick in July’s NHL draft, has yet to play in a game because of injury, and there’s no timetable for a return.

I wouldn't count on any of that happening until it does. Teams will want to steal T/K and why would Cat come back here?

Why would Johnny Gaudreau go to Columbus? People are weird and NHL players are people last I checked.

Some of them seem like machines.

I’m totally being hyperbolic/exaggerating, in the Chicago superfan spirit

There you go!

 

[Kevin Musto]

I don't think Nazar will see any regular season play, but it's likely he gets some playoff action

It would line up with his timeline

That would be incredible asset management by Davidson. Moves like that and getting a Bedard speed up a rebuild from 5 years to 3 imo (along with good returns for Kane/Toews)
