The thing is that all professional hockey players make mostly good plays. We'd be here all day if we praised all the good plays.
What separates the legitimate NHL players and the guys who don't belong or who are best tweezers is how often they make bad plays and how bad those plays are. Guys like Rutta, Ferraro, and Kunin make too many bad plays to be good, or even acceptable, NHL players.
In the end, I don't care how hard they work. I care about how effective they are. Guys like the aforementioned trio just aren't good, because they too often make bad plays, or fail to make the necessary good ones (which still means they make plenty of good plays, but that would be true of guys who dont belong above the SPHL, too).
