He's pretty much a lock to be one of the top 20 or so players in the league.

While I don't disagree with your conclusion, I'm just not a fan of focusing on stats. Believe me, most NHL stars don't bring their A-games when they're killing time in Europe during lockouts. Swiss league is dominated by Pierre-Marc Bouchard this season.
Looking very quickly at players with over .90 points per game in the Swiss league with more than half the games played, there's like 20 of them. In Finland, there's two.
