Sabres sign Nathan Gerbe

The Sabres signed forward, Nathan Gerbe to a 3 year contract today. The Boston College Junior will leave school early and try to make the Sabres roster this fall. Gerbe, who claims he's 5 foot 5 may be a little shorter than that.. but it's never stopped him from being successful up to this point. He helped to lead BC to a National Title this season, where he was the M.V.P, he was also a finalist for the Hobey Baker. Lindy Ruff told Darcy Regier that once you're under 5'10, it doesn't matter anymore. It will be interesting to see if his size becomes a factor in the league. He appears to be just what the Sabres need, and although he is young.. I do anticipate he will start in Buffalo and not the A.H.L..
