Savard was an assistant with the St. Louis Blues for one season, overseeing a power play that ranked third in the league. It was the season right after the Blues won the Cup, and Vladimir Tarasenko played all of 10 games, but they still found a way to boast an elite unit featuring Alex Pietrangelo, David Perron, Ryan O'Reilly, Jaden Schwartz, and Brayden Schenn.
Perron led the Blues in power-play points with 27. Savard has worked with some big shooters at the point, which the Leafs don't currently possess at the moment.
In Savard's first OHL season, the Spitfires went all the way to the finals led by Wyatt Johnston. In the next season, Johnston made the NHL, but the Spitfires still finished first in the regular s.
