The Chicago Blackhawks should always be looking for upgrades. However, they should have a spot for Frank Nazar when he is ready to get back into the NHL.<\/p>\n

\"\/<\/p>\n

It is never a bad idea to keep finding ways to upgrade a roster.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Blackhawks could certainly use a second-line center as Philipp Kurashev has gotten off to a slow start. The Blackhawks reportedly want to see if they can find one in the trade market, especially a young one.<\/p>\n

The Blackhawks have a lot of draft picks to work with. It could reach the point where the 50-contract rule could apply, and the team might have to dump the picks. That is why it cannot hurt to see what their draft capital can get for established players.<\/p>\n

However, the Blackhawks still have their second-line center of the future in their system.<\/h2>\n

That is why trading for a young center could block Frank Nazar in the long run. His development in Rockford is going well and he should be back in the NHL at some point.<\/p>\n

\n

The Blackhawks are pleased with Frank Nazar’s play in Rockford so far. He probably isn’t immediately returning to the NHL, but he’s on track for a call-up.<\/p>\n
