ANSWER: Two. Leeroy Jenkins and Mitch Higgins both signed in Helsinki and were dealt as rentals to Calgary and Seattle, respectively, meeting in the finals.

PART B
Name the only two Continental Cup champions to miss the playoffs both immediately before and after their championships.
ANSWER: As profiled on the Cup winner rankings, it's S29 Toronto and S43 Seattle.

As @Streetlight and @TheLastOlympian07 also noted, these horrible teams missed the playoffs not just one but 3 seasons before and after their cup wins. How they won remains beyond me.
