It's not just the team he plays on.
Saint John doesn't allow their d the freedom most other teams do, and defensemen are regularly stuck with rushes coming at them because they play a possession offense with undersized forwards.
In terms of raw ability, Yann Sauve makes Alex Grant look like chump change. Their is a wide gap, due to Yann's speed (he's our fastest player), and his confidence.
That being said, Yann is probably the 7th d-man on the team, and you might as well take someone who can return. It probably doesn't hurt that his equipment manager is the team equipment manager.
