Frank Nazar is for the nerds. If there is one prospect that you want to get in on the conversation about and determine that if they slip out of the top-10 picks, they will make every team above them envious of the brave organization that selects him, it’s Frank Nazar.
The 5-foot-10 center has quickly risen up every draft board and has been heralded as one of the more creative teenagers available this summer, but some more traditional scouting outlets are a little slow to take in the hype. He will certainly earn more pedigree in the coming months — as a commit to the University of Michigan — but right now the bigger guys, notably NHL Central Scouting, has Nazar as barely a first-round pick according to their rankings.
