I've sent entire full DBs with statistically derived offensive ratings (adjusted for different scoring eras) for every NHL player from 1917 to present to Jeff. I have a 2nd version sitting on my desktop now. At the very least you won't have guys like Gilbert Perrault sitting in the minor leagues for the last 3-4 years of their career because his offensive ratings aren't rated. But applying only part of the player ratings won't work, as all the players are rated against each other and the whole point is to keep the ratings consistent so the right players play and perform close to their real life levels.
Anyway, give me an email address and I'll send you the DB. I'm working on a new one which also rates aggression to get penalty minutes working right, but I barely have anyone done yet.
