My point was that the error bars are actually very small. I'm still working on the best method to define them, but the number are a *lot* more consistent than I would have expected.

This is not true at all. There are a dozen statshounds who have done this project on an ongoing basis for years, and it is widely known that the KHL's NHLE (equivalency) number is 0.83. In other words, unless you're saying a 17% spread is "approximately the same", no, they won't. They will score approximately 83% of their KHL rate in the NHL. Now, that is still the highest NHLE number out there, but it isn't a straight across translation. For reference, Hudler's 54 points translate to 45.
NHLE numbers for every major league via Gabe Desjardins / BTN:
KHL (0.83)
SEL (0.78)
CZE (0.74)
FNL (0.54)
DEL (0.52)
AHL (0.44)
NLA (0.43)
NCAA (0.41)
WHL (0.30)
OHL (0.30)
QMJHL (0.28
USHL (0.27)
AJHL (0.16)
BCHL (0.14)
The ECHL has no number because there isn't enough of a sample of graduates.

I said, very clearly, *per season*. Which I think is a better indicator than per game (for various reasons). Taking an average KHL season of 54 games, that gives an NHLE for the KHL of about .65

I'd love to see that. Do you have a graph or link? (If it's possible, I'd love to see an NHL points vs KHL points graph)

I'm still working on this. Mostly those pesky 'error bars' as mentioned above.
I'll probably submit it as an article somewhere this summer when I'm finished.
