Dandenault is pretty solid. Though, I'm not sure he's worth bringing up unless the Rangers plan on semi-benching somebody. All the d-men are playing right around 20 minutes now with Staal and Girardi getting the most time at even strength. Del Zotto doesn't play on the PK but plays on PP1. Gilroy seems to get a decent amount of even strength shifts and some PK2 and PP2 time. Redden and Rozsival both aren't playing as much as they probably should be (if they were at the top of their game). This almost makes me think the Rangers might attempt to move Rozsival because Dandenault isn't really worth having around as a 7th d-man with the way their rotation works right now.
