Those KHL equivalency numbers get skewed. KHL’ers who flake out in the NHL usually don’t stick around to become 4th liners or call-up options. Meanwhile guys like Panarin, Kuznetsov and Tarasenko will obviously enjoy long successful NHL career as they pile up points.
Yup, generally only the most elite KHL guys come over to guaranteed NHL roster spots, and usually do so at a fairly young age where they're still improving.
You don't have, ever, a guy like a Jayson Megna (pretty decent offensive player in the AHL) getting 8 minutes/game on a 4th line and going from being a 50-point AHL player to a 10-point NHL player.
The context the numbers are generated in is completely different, which makes the numbers essentially worthless garbage.
