Jacob De La Rose was claimed off of waivers by the Detroit Red Wings, and many are not surprised. The former second-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens has all the tools to make it as an NHL player. He has size, he can skate, is strong defensively, and he has a great flow — some good hockey hair on JDLR.
Although he plays a position, centre, which the Habs have struggled to fill over the years, it was deemed by the club that JDLR was expendable. JDLR was the redshirt of the Montreal Canadiens.
