It's a good league, better than the danish, austrian, norwegian or french leagues. Still, each team is affiliated to a NLA team and thus, rather young players play in this league, except 2 non-swiss players allowed on each team. Yes, there's one high caliber junior league called Junior Elite A.

I'd say you are right except Austria (EBEL) is better than NLB.

I highly disagree. The NLB is not better than any of the ones you named except maybe Ligue Magnus.
