As mentioned in another thread I have started to compile a ranking of all the birth years since 1971 to see which ones where the best years for German hockey.
This is a work in progress and I will constantly update the thread as I make my way through the years.
For every birth year I chose 3 goalies, 8 defensemen and 12 forwards that I think are/were the best at their position. Each player I rate with a score and then I use the average score for each year to make the rankings.
For now I will just post the rankings as I go. At some point I will also add the scores and the players I picked.
Especially in the earlier years it is highly likely that I overlooked somebody. So, if anybody believes I made a mistake with my selections feel free to point that out, once I added the player names. At the end I might add a poll to this thread. But for now I'll just stick to the very basic rankings.
Overall:
