How would you compare/contrast and ?
It's hard to compare these two since these two leagues are situated so differently tier wise and location, but VHL is going to take the slightest of edges here as it's the primary farm league to the KHL which is one of the top leages globally outside of the NHL. There are many high end players in each league, but the skill/speed across the board game to game is a bit higher in Russia's 2nd league.
We've had partners who scout matches in both of these leagues. Prior players have also spent varying time in each league so we know some deep understanding on each.
