Nazar makes subtle, almost im- perceptible plays at every corner of the ice to create advan- tages for his linemates – little things like dragging defenders toward him on entries to create half-ice 2-on-1s or driving the net off-the-puck to give his linemate more runway. The more attention you pay to Nazar, the more you appreciate his offensive genius. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
