Huh.

 

Didnt even realize he came back to the NHL to be honest.

 

So long to another Sabres bust!

Shows you the talent level difference. 

 

1st line, All star winger/Centre in the KHL. 3rd line winger/bust in the NHL.

Well KHL is by far the 2nd best league in the world.  I don't think that anyone would argue that it can compete with the NHL.

I'm curious if the AHL all-stars would beat the KHL all stars in a 7 game series.

I think that AHL would've been better about 5 years ago as recently we've seen a lot of European players going back to play in Europe/KHL as opposed to toiling in the smaller North American cities.  

 

I've seen some preliminary numbers being thrown out there that show prospects having a bigger chance of success if they develop overseas as opposed to AHL.  I don't know how much merit I would put into those though as they're very subjective and don't account for a lot of factors IMO.
