Player grades in a rebuild are never just about the box score, because every shift gets weighed against development, opportunity, and what comes next. Nazar’s season lands in that gray area where the upside is obvious, but the polish still has work left. For a young Blackhawks piece, that balance is usually where the real story lives.
