222. Marc Savard

A two-time All-Star in consecutive seasons (2008 & 2009), Marc Savard quietly put forth a career where he accumulated 706 Points with 499 of them coming by way of Assists.  Savard began his career with the New York Rangers, the Calgary Flames, and the Atlanta Thrashers, and in those nine years, he never played in the postseason. However, in his last season in Atlanta, he set a career high with 97 points, finishing ninth in Points and third in Assists.

After that, Savard would sign with the Boston Bruins, where he would become more known, and he would have seasons of 96, 78, and 88  Points, with the two highest tallies seeing him hit the top ten in Assists in all of those years.  Savard would sadly in 2010 suffer a serious concussion at the hands of a hit by Matt Cooke, and a second concussion the season after would see him suffer post-concussion syndrome, where he would be forced to retire, though he would receive a Stanley Cup Ring as the Bruins would win it all that year.
