Frank Nazar insists he is the same guy after agreeing to extension with the Blackhawks
August 22, 2025
As far as Frank Nazar is concerned, everything is pretty much the same. He wants to get better, and he wants to win. Speaking a day after agreeing to a contract extension with the Chicago Blackhawks, Nazar insisted he’s the same guy. Nazar says, “I’m still super motivated and still want to be the best player I can be.” Nazar’s $46.2 million, seven-year extension begins with the 2026-27 season, and it stamps the flashy forward as part of the core of a Chicago team trying to climb out of the NHL basement. The Blackhawks went 25-46-11 last season and finished last in the Central Division for the third straight year.
