Denis Savard was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round, 3rd pick overall, in the 1980 NHL Entry Draft. At the time  he was the highest drafted Blackhawks player in NHL history, until Patrick Kane

was drafted in 2007 (Kane was the first pick overall that season). Savard had three assists in his first game and then went ahead to set the Blackhawks’ record (since broken) for most points by a rookie with 75 points.

Savard is probably best was known for his signature trademark move, the ‘Spin-o-rama’, which entailed Savard whirling around with the puck in a full rotation allowing him to defeat defenders and goaltenders alike. Savard played with the Blackhawks at two different occasions during his career. The first stint was from 1980 to 1990 season. The second one was from 1994 to 1997  (He played for the Montreal Canadiens and the Tampa Bay Lightning in between playing for the Hawks).

The Chicago Blackhawks retired the fifth jersey in Hawks history on March 19, 1998, when Denis Savard’s familiar No. 18 sweater was raised to the rafters.

He has also served as head coach of the Chicago Blackhawks and currently serves as an ambassador for the Blackhawks’ organization.
In 2000 Denis Savard was elected into the NHL Hockey Hall of Fame. He has two rookie hockey cards, one with the Opee Chee set and the other with the Topps card set. The 1981-82 O-Pee-Chee #63 Denis Savard RC has a high book value of $30 and a low book value of $15.
