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.

I think your misinterpreting what I'm saying, but I also implied something I didn't mean. Marquee players would stand out even more. Iginla, Ovechkin, Crosby would still be rated high, but allow defenders to get 90 ratings because it focuses more on there defensive ability and have less emphasis on offensive skills ability. Meanwhile utility players shouldn't be getting rated that high still, but have value to get more respectable ratings due to their role not being scoring primarly. So if a player is a good grinder with good faceoff ability, but crap for scoring, they can still be rated mid to high 70s.
FYI I should be getting the game tomorrow so if you have any questions pop them by.
