Of the defensemen Ralph, Fischer, Minnetian were all -1. Fortescue was a +3 and he looked pretty steady. Hutson was a +7 with 5 assists and 4 shots on net. Leonard had 9 shots. Perreault had 7. Hagens and Ziemer had 5. The Hagens, Perreault, Leonard line were all +4. Since they scored 4 and all played 19 minutes + that means Germany had no answer for that line when it was on the ice.
Looking at tankathon today they have the Rangers picking 10 which puts guys like Hensler (USA) and Eklund (Sweden) potentially in the conversation. Hensler is an RD though. We have more need of LD but you can't always pick and choose the position of the best player.
