Observations:

March 2013 - Savard's hockey sense and puck-moving skills keep him on the Jackets' radar, but they point to his skating as a reason for the stall in his progression...Is in tough to pass some of the highly-touted kids who are ahead of him. - Dobber

March 2012 – Savard played his juniors in the QMJHL and just last season made the jump to the pro level. Put up very respectable numbers as a rookie in the AHL from the back end. He plays an all-around game as he can shut down the opponent as well as being that blue liner who can move the puck and chip in on the offensive side. - Russ Bitely

Fantasy Outlook: C+

Savard is a solid puck moving defenseman that is surprising a bit with his development pace.
