Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2004-05: Made his Super League debut with Lada Togliatti, starting off strong, but fading after a couple of dozen games. He will be expected to step up next season.
2005-06: Continued to grow with Lada in top league for the second straight season. There were a lot of distractions early on this season when the team’s biggest sponsor and financial backer slashed the team’s payroll in half. Fortunately being young and not demanding that large of a salary, his status with the team remained the same throughout the season.Having lost a lot of their top players, Krysanov and others stepped up and played a bigger role with the team. He centered one of the team’s top lines, helping Togliatti work through the adversity.
2006-07: Played for Lada for the third consective year. Offensive production picked up as he finished tenth in team scoring. Was third is assists (15). Saw minutes increase as a result. Played for Team Russia at WJC.
2007-08: Played his fourth season with Lada Togliatti in the old RSL. Posted career highs in goals (9) and points (20). Finished fifth in team scoring. His production was up for the third straight year.
Talent Analysis
Possesses solid balance on his feet...registered a progress in his skating skills as he now shows a more fluid stride and solid acceleration for a big man...needs to improve his agility...good defensive awareness and a knack for blocking the passing lanes of the opposition...possesses decent puck handling skills, but still could use better hands... an above-average vision of the ice...a very smart passer who passes the puck through holes unseen by others...a welcomed asset to both power play and penalty killing units...plays with solid toughness, but his mean streak isn't evident all the time.
Future
Krysanov will skate for Lada Togliatti in the new KHL.
