I wouldn't say that's true at all. A lot of chances for high skilled players come off the rush. Players are taking the shortest path to the offensive zone on the majority of rushes because there is back pressure, so you're going to end up on your positional side off the rush more times than not. After that, sure, they'll move around and create as they see fit, but that's discounting a lot of the time they get with the puck to create high danger opportunities.
