No my point is not that the Swiss league is worse than some other league, I honestly wouldn't know. Seems like there's more scoring going on there but that's all I can say. I just think that stat analysis reaches its limit very quickly in these cases. Minor point, perhaps not even worth making.

But isn't that the type of argument you sometimes hear about European prospects - "He's getting outplayed by the likes of Pierre-Marc Bouchard!" Just joking. Doesn't mean anything.

Bottom line is, he is that good. Maybe it is a feat. But comparisons fall apart quickly.
