Nazar was the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft by the Hawks. Nazar last year was really strong, having 41 points in 41 games at Michigan University and then transitioning to the NHL after the NCAA season was over. Nazar scored his first NHL goal in his debut, but only participated in three games. Frank is expected to be the top line left wing or to compete with
Oliver Moore for the second center position.
