2020-21 SHL season level of hockey? (not as good as previous seasons?)

[Artorius Horus T]

Looking at the top 10 scorers of this (early) SHL season and i have to question the SHL,
at what level are they this season???.

1. Marek Hrivik (30) 10 points (2.50 ppg)
2. Borna Rendulic (28) 8 points (2.00 ppg)
3. Carter Camper (32) 7 points (1.75 ppg)
4. Peter Cehlarik (25) 7 points (1.75 ppg)
5. Jaedon Descheneau (25) 7 points (1.75 ppg)
6. Jonatan Berggren 7 points (20) (1.75 ppg)
7. Eric Gelinas (29) 7 points (1.75 ppg)
8. Broc Little (32) 6 points (1.50 ppg)
9. Michael Lindqvist (26) 6 points (1.20 ppg)
10. Adam Tambellini (26) 6 points (2.00 ppg)

Its not like those players, minus 2, are any good
not even European pro league standards.

Camper, Descheneau, who even those are???
- never heard of them

Hrivik is a 7 season, 0.50 ppg player from the AHL

Rendulic has played in 8 different leagues past 8 years
including NHL and AHL, meh player from Croatia.

Everyone knows who Gelinas, Little and Tambellini are,
3 mediocre players.

2 quality players (Berggren & Lindqvist) and 1 decent player (Cehlarik)
but even with those, are they really? if the SHL of today, might not be that good.
..... or am i jumping the gun here?

If anything there's more talent this year compared to the last five years or so, especially with some guys who were supposed to be in the AHL are in Sweden instead.

It will be interesting to see how the SHL has coped compared to other European leagues. The CHL should be a good measure.

16 Nov Skellefteå - Zug
17 Nov Neman Grodno - Frölunda
17 Nov Stavanger - Rögle
17 Nov Eisbären Berlin - Luleå

It is still very early on in the season. It will be evident pretty soon however how the SHL handled the Corona Virus.

So average players score while top players don't. This somehow tells us the league is bad?
