The Beantown Bruins are proud to select our
#1 Centre Denis Savard
Denis Savard was drafted in the first round, 3rd overall, in the 1980 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks. He was the highest drafted player in Blackhawks' history, until recently. He began his career during the 1980–81 NHL season in which he had three assists in his first game. He then went on to set the Black Hawks' record for most points by a rookie with 75.
He was known for his trademark move, the 'Savard Spin-o-rama', which entailed Savard whirling around with the puck in a full rotation allowing him to defeat defenders and goaltenders alike.
