Nathan Gerbe was sent back to Portland today after four more scoreless games. That's 10 in two stints this season with Buffalo, certainly a big disappointment to the Boston College star who came in with such high hopes to make an impact in the NHL this year. Frankly, he's just not ready yet. Look for Paul Gaustad back in the lineup Thursday in Philly.
