Dan Gles: An understudy of Patrice Bergeron?

[No_Dangles 42]

Gles, drafted 36th overall in the S66 VHLM draft, has lived up to his 2-way forward label so far. With 29 shots blocked, Gles is tied for 3rd in the VHLM for blocked shots. To put this in perspective, the next highest recorded number for a forward is 13, the owner of the statistic being Milan Griffin of the Houston Bulls.

 

Gles has also showed some potential in his offensive zone as well. With 7G and 7A in 12GP, Gles is currently on pace for 84 points in a potential 72 games. The only question now is will he be able to keep up his current pace? My guess would be that his scoring slows down as he currently sits on The Hounds’ second line. Likewise, we can likely expect a drop in blocked shots as well. The Hounds started the season with a non-existent D-core outside of VHLM rookie stud @HulkHogan who stands at 8th in the league in points.

 

One thing can be said about Dan Gles. The defensive aspect of his game is not going to go away. He’s been quoted in saying that he has always focused on his defensive aspect since he was a kid. In a recent interview on VHL.com. He’s stated that his current focus is in the face-off dot as he hopes that will strengthen his ever-growing defensive capabilities.
