Misquote there. That's not my post. Anyway

I'm not that convinced KHL has any real claim to being the 2nd best league in the world. I don't see success in that league correlating with NHL success any more than success in Swedish or Finnish leagues. I've seen the games and the quality of play doesn't seem to be anything special either.

(They also don't take part in the European CHL which would help settle it.)

My guess is they're probably on par with or maybe even below the Swedish league, which is the best euro league in general. (They've won 3/4 CHL championships.)
