There will be Anomalies for the better and for the worse, its just an average. Could be because of playing time,
or how well the player handles the change,
or who the player is playing with.
Look at Tomas Hertl
Czech 2012 .65
Czech 2013.69
NHL 2014 .67
Czech NHLe .61, so he beat that by 45%
I've gotta think he wasn't leaned on anymore playing with one of the deepest offensive teams in the league, so maybe playing with a guy like Thornton could skew your stats?

Hertl got top 6 linemates and plenty of PP time on the Sharks. He pretty much walked into a dream scenario for an offensive rookie.
