As TSN's Darren Dreger reports, Gerbe has signed a one-year contract worth $600,000. Only one week ago, Le Matin reported that the 27-year-old will join the Grenats, however, with a clause that allowed him to leave in direction of the NHL until July 15. A clause that he now made use of.

Gerbe played for the Carolina Hurricanes the last three seasons. Overall, he appeared in 394 games in the NHL, scoring 58 goals and 80 assists. With only 165 centimeters, the 28-year-old is the shortest forward in the NHL. (tme)
