I don't think a 9 or 12 game period is enough to conclusively say Kane or Lupul can't cut it in the KHL. Look at Pavelski:
first 8 games: 0 G, 1 A, 1 P (0.13 P/G)
last 9 games: 7 G, 6 A, 13 P (1.44 P/G)
In the past, some great Europeans have also taken time to get going when moving to the NHL:
Pavel Bure
first 13 games: 4 G, 1 A, 5 P (0.38 P/G)
last 52 games: 30 G, 25 A, 55 P (1.06 P/G)
Jaromir Jagr
first 34 games: 7 G, 5 A, 12 P (0.35 P/G)
last 46 games: 20 G, 25 A, 45 P (0.98 P/G)
