Nazar's Blackhawks Buzz Builds
Frank Nazar inks a massive seven-year extension with Chicago, betting big on the kid who's already flashed elite potential behind Connor Bedard. The 21-year-old rookie piled up 26 points in 53 games last season, earning top-six minutes and a spot on the second line with vets like Bertuzzi and Teravainen. Blackhawks brass sees him as the two-way spark that lightens Bedard's load, but whispers from the front office hint at the risks of locking him up after just 56 NHL games.
