KHL Rookie Award rules (link):
There's some outrage and the predictable LOL KHL jokes going on, so I want to make this absolutely clear: By the award's rules, Tolvanen was ineligible.
The rules of the award's eligibiilty are as follows:
The player is a Russian citizen who is younger than 26 and just completed his first professional season (or played less than one-third of his team's games the previous year).
This award was established in the late Soviet era (and I assume the only change they made after Soviet Union fell was changing "Soviet" to "Russian") and the rules appear to have never been updated to note the league's expansion into non-Russian nations.
And if you're wondering how he got Rookie of the Week awards...Rookie of the Week is given by the league, Rookie of the Year is, to my understanding, given out by a "founding company" called Centrosport.
