Trying to sift NHL Equivalencies out of varying league is like voodoo and it's difficult to REALLY know how good these players are.

The SEL in particular seems to be very difficult as fans of many of the young guys who have come from that league should know by now.

I'm so sick of hearing about the next "insert Swedish name" to come from that league only to turn into a 3rd line checking forward.

Both of these players are projecting at this point to be quite good, but sometimes people need to lay off of the rhetoric.
