The Blackhawks announced they have signed Nazar to a seven-year contract, tying the young forward to the franchise into the next decade.

Nazar signed a seven-year contract extension with the Blackhawks. This contract will carry a $6.59 million salary cap hit, officially begins during the 2026-27 season and run through the 2032-33 season.
