Earlier, we passed along a report from Swiss newspaper Le Matin about Nathan Gerbe signing with Swiss National League A side Geneve-Servette.
Now, Gerbe’s camp is refuting the report:
Nathan Gerbe has interest from several NHL clubs and plans on staying in North America. He isn't signing in Switzerland.

Gerbe, 28, has spent the last three seasons in Carolina, but only appeared in 47 games last year due to a high ankle sprain that cost him considerable time.
He just wrapped the last of a two-year, $3.5 million deal with the ‘Canes, one that carried a $1.75M average annual cap hit. He’s set to hit unrestricted free agency on July 1.
