Well, not exactly, the Toronto Maple Leafs currently own the rights to players in the Supreme Hockey League (VHL) and National League (NL) as well. However, the players in those leagues would hardly be considered prospects at this point either due to age or lack of NHL projection. The Leafs have a longstanding history with European players as a whole. Some of the best players in team history are European like; Mats Sundin and Borje Salming. This extends to Russia as well with the Leafs dipping their hands into the KHL free agency market in recent years signing players like Ilya Mikheyev, Nikita Zaitsev, and Igor Ozhiganov amongst others.
Artur Akhtyamov, playing for Ak Bars Kazan, has a record of 6-7-0 and a .921% save percentage (SV%). Nikita Grebyonkin, last season's KHL rookie of the year winner, has taken a slight step back.
