But on top of all that, I think the game needs more ratings in general.

The only thing that could possibly stand in the way is the way that the marquee players stand out? How would one Ovechkin, Iginla, or Niedermayer be better than a Shane O'Brien, or Stephane Yelle if they were rated the same, in terms of position. It would go and show the other side of hockey, much like they're doing this year with the grinders and fighters (Why else would Stortini be called in?).
I understand your argument, but the fact is that the names sell. This gives us hardcore fans something else to look for when fantasy drafting, because we know the grittier players.
