Great video
Welcome to Buffalo, Frank.
So nasty 🤮
Nazar was before Cooley in the rankings at the beginning of the year. Then he had a so slow start at the begining of the year, at christmas, he was even not having the same point amount than last year, he had no legs, sliding and letting the play coming to him, same as Wright I can say. I dont know who was at the origin of this change of style of play for Nazar and Wright but its not ok to play away of the play at their age, they had no concussions, ni serious injuries and they have a lot of energy. They should be in the center of the play, provoquing opponents mistakes and driving plays, they are much more efficient like that, for them and their teams. After Christmas, he have started to play the good way while Wright was continuing to play far from the play. Then Nazar start to recover his legs, his foot step was back, in the center of the play, through the traffic, he was really good and his stock have started to rise again. But that little period of time where he've changed his style of game, Cooley took the lead and he never give it back after.
His vision his impressive, in the secound half he was playing with autorithy and he was very fast on the ice, he should go around ninth overall
Hope he makes it to 8 and Detroit, but probably not!
Great analysis. Night and day compared to some other channels covering prospects.
Reminds me of Point stylistically
Savoie>
Can 't believe some people have him ranked at around 25, doesn't make any sense to me. Only explanation I see is because he's not big but that hasn't stopped scouts from ranking Cooley and Savoie high.
God I love Nazar so much
Noah ostlund clear
Any doubts about his ability to take the center of the ice at the NHL Level ? Most of the highlights he's right up the middle and very up close to the goalies. Not much on the outside or a long distance shot beating the goalie. He's a got a good release but I wouldn't call his shot good by any mean.
Wings legit might trade back to get him and someone else
Detroit at 8🤞
I whole heartedly agree
Columbus at #6 Patrick Kane 2.0
He’s got a little Datsyuk in those handles and that shimmy.
Great… Now I have an other player to add to the list of players I want my team to pick…
Awesome work sir, thank you for this video
Fantastic content
that play at 5:25 looks like patrick kane
Blackhawks got a steal at 13! Makes up for the Dach trade
Cannot believe they turned Kirby Dach into Frank Nazar and an extra pick. Kyle Davidson made up for a poor first trade. I like all the draft picks they made.
Welcome to Chicago, this video was incredibly well done and gave me some more hope as a Hawks fan
Steal by the hawks
Welcome to Chicago….
My favorite blackhawks draft pick this year! This kid is very skilled.
First , I love Kirby Dach , and when they drafted him , but …..they killed the draft this year. It'll take a couple of years , but fans will love what they did. These picks were steals. It's just that there was not a lot of film or in person looks at players because of the pandemic. One complete year doesn't tell the story. Being a huge Hawks fan , I'm happy with what and how they went about it.
Speed and his puck handling along with great vision on the ice is superb. Interested to see how Kane will teach this kid about the NHL
It's going to be rough for a couple years, but I'm confident and hopeful that we will come back strong sooner than expected!
You don’t usually hear undersized players being talked about for physicality. Very interesting
Chicago reached with Korchinski then stole Nazar, flip the picks and it's an incredible draft. Nazar will be a tremendous player and feels like a brayden point prototype. Love his game.
DUTYSK?
it is going to be a rough few years for us Hawks fans, but hopefully him and one of Bedard /Michkov/ Fantelli can be major parts of the rebuild
I hope he plays this well when he starts playing in the NHL.
Habs fan .. i am hoping Dach will be equally good to this kid .. but i’m afraid we got hungry on the gamble…
Has a habs fan, Dach is better be really good because I'm would have love Nazar
Korchinski and Nazar are definitely making it to the Hawks roster in a year or couple years. Can’t wait!!
He will pair well with Bedard
BEDARD TO HAWKS
Guaranteed Bedard helps Nazar self-actualize and reach his full potential
