Nazar

[Hawkaholic]

But Nazar wouldn't be on an top bursts lists... because he didn't play a full season. Idk of those stat trackers use per game data at all

Fair point.

Breakdown:
Top speed
Point 38.24km.h 97th percentile
Nazar 37.12km.h 86th percentile

Speed Bursts over 32km.h
Point 5.5/GP 99th percentile
Nazar2.75/GP 85th percentile

What?

Point is top 10 in 22mph+ bursts, and 20mph+ bursts. Nazar isn't, and neither is Hagel.

A full season and some more maturity and Nazar will be right there.

 

[Paul Allen]

A full season and some more maturity and Nazar will be right there.

I’m sure his numbers will explode with a full season on pk1

 

[RememberTheRoar]

over his last ten games, which is obviously a tiny sample, but if it's indicative of his future play then 40 goals are not out of the realm of possibilities, he was at a 41 goal pace over that sample...guys like Pius Suter and Donato near 30 goals, Nazar could easily become a lite-Point as a base case and Point as an upside case

I feel like he needs to play with Bedard to reach that potential, but Bedard reiterated today that he wants to be a center. Do you think Nazar will shift, or will he be stuck on line 2?

Nazar's defense as C is really good but it would also be nice to see his speed on Wing. High class problem

 

[BLKHKhockey]

Nazar is definitely a center.

Bedard I’m not sold on yet. I think he will bounce between centering his own line and being on Frank’s wing next year.

 

[Kevin Musto]

What's the problem with having a 1-2 punch?

Where do people project Misa to play? Bedard says he wants to play center, Nazar looks good at center, something would have to give

Definitely, one of these guys is going to be a wing

Like @Toews2Bickell mentioned, that’s happening regardless once they get Misa or Hagens

on Bedard's wing

 

[Toews2Bickell]

on Bedard's wing

so maybe a top 6 like this say by start of 26-27? LW2 can probably pencil in like 3+ guys internally or acquire someone

Misa-Bedard-Marner
Boisvert-Nazar-Turbo

There's a 14.1% chance the Blackhawks land Misa

Marner hasn't even left Toronto

but I appreciate the optimism

 

[CallMeShaft]

In that scenario where we get Misa, or even Frondell or Hagens, I'm not sure who would move to wing. It's a good problem to have, though. Just let it play out and see what happens.

Are we rerunning the 2010s or not, need generational delusion to think it can happen twice

all 3 of those guys would move to wing

or in the case of Frondell, I genuinely think you'd play him at 3C

I agree. I think the only sort of sure thing is Bedard sticking at center unless it’s absolutely proven that he’s a detriment to the team in that role.

That would be a bit disappointing to pull in a 3C with a top 4 pick. Even if he could be the next Jordan Staal, that kind of sucks. Worse than KK anchoring a dynamic third pair.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Marner 10%, Misa 14.1%, McKenna 5%...so basically 100% all three will happen because we're running back the dynasty years

It sure would be!

That's the type of draft we're looking at

Though I do think there are better players available than Frondell, but Kyle isn't necessarily looking at them

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Marner will be the Jon Lester signing of this rebuild

Guess thats why they were willing to trade the pick a year out

 

[CallMeShaft]

I do not agree with Musto's view on Frondell. I think AF projects very well to being a top 6 center.

Though does he bump Bedard or Nazar to wing? Tough to say, but only because they are both studs.

It's not that he can't be a 2C

It's that he wouldn't be one on this roster

Frondell will never be as good as Bedard or Nazar, so he's incapable of bumping either to the wing
