If it was work ethic you'd see the helms, glendenings, the abdelkaders doing this stuff. But they don't, because it doesn't even register on their minds half the time. Don't ask me how I can read their minds, that's not a point I want to attempt to defend.
Abdelkader is at a .5 ppg pace which isn't bad at all for a role player on a team with no playmakers. LGD doesn't do too many little things actually. He does a few things, but I am always surprised how some people think he's like a Draper-like player (another player that shows work ethic can lead to goals).
Bert hasn't shown at any level that he has a high hockey IQ. All of his coaches and scouts though rave about him knowing how to do the little things and being willing to do them. 15 points in 40 games isn't a sign of someone who is seeing the ice all that well.
