When the Chicago Blackhawks traded Kirby Dach, it was a tough pill for fans to swallow.
The promising young forward was a fan favorite, and his departure left many feeling disheartened. However, as the season progressed, it became increasingly clear that the trade was a win for the Blackhawks.The key piece acquired in exchange for Dach was Frank Nazar, and he's proving to be a sensational talent. Drafted with the 13th overall pick obtained for Dach, Nazar has quickly made an impact on the ice. Despite limited NHL experience, he's already making waves.
In a recent game at the United Center on Sunday, April 14, Nazar scored on his first NHL shot, marking a memorable debut. If he continues to play in the remaining road games of the season, he'll have played more NHL games this season than Dach himself.
This turn of events highlights the Blackhawks' astute decision-making in the trade, with Nazar emerging as a valuable asset for the team's future with the ongoing rebuild.
While Dach's departure may have initially saddened fans, seeing Nazar's success serves as a reminder to trust Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson's rebuilding plans.
As Nazar continues to shine, the trade is increasingly viewed as a 'iffy' move that is paying off for the Blackhawks.
