How would you compare/contrast and ?
The KHL is the strongest of these two leagues. Over the past number of years, DEL2 continues to gain strength based on the growth of the game in Germany and due to higher quality imports playing here. You'd probably see a competitive match if a top DEL2 team played a middle of the pack KHL club, but the KHL is definitively the stronger of the two leagues as a whole.
