Last summer, when the Leafs signed Ilya Mikheyev to an ELC, he was coming off a spectacular KHL season that got him an award.
CSKA was also represented in the Golden Helmet category, which names the six top players of the past season. Defenseman Nikita Nesterov and forward Mikhail Grigorenko was both included on that roster. They were joined by Salavat Yulaev goalie Juha Metsola, Barys D-man Darren Dietz, Avangard forward Ilya Mikheyev and another Finn from Ufa, Teemu Hartikainen.
The current rumours that Kyle Dubas is in Russia (confirmed by several journalists) have him looking to collect the whole set.
