| Organizational Comments: "We like his size, he plays hard on the boards, he chases the puck well and he has pretty good hands for a big guy. In this game, we're forced to rush a lot of kids and we're just hoping we find one of them who slips through the cracks, much like Dan Cleary did." Wings Asst. GM Jim Nill |
What GRC says: 2007-08: Gelech went back to the basics after an awful first half, and while he played better defensively, still never established an offensive presence even with powerplay time. A big body and a hard worker, Gelech needs to consistently bring the same level of intensity and be involved in the play. The sum of his parts does not equal the whole of his game. Hopefully he will bounce back in the last year of his contract, and his hard work will produce more result at both ends of the ice.
Fall 2007: Big, and Aggressive on the Forecheck, Gelech is a banging winger who grinds it out along the boards and in the corners. He showed a bit of a touch last season notching 17 goals on an abysmal rampage squad, and should be able to chip in a few this season. |
