Who, in your opinion, is the most underrated defenseman on your team? What makes his play special? A defenseman that everybody should know about..
For the Jackets, the blueline is pretty deep but the most underrated defenseman imo is David Savard (toss up between him and Nuutivara). He gets hidden from the spotlight due to Werenski and Jones but Torts raves about Savy. Played in the WC for Canada a few years back and recorded 4 points in 10 games, +10 for his country. I know, +\- is an iffy stat but he was a +33 last season. 4th round pick all the way back in 2009, has played in the Jackets organization for his entire career. He doesn’t put up crazy numbers (career 0.33 ppg) but is just an all around solid, steady defenseman.
