Habs 2nd rounder hopes to play for Windsor July 10, 2013

If it were up to Jacob De La Rose, he’d be in a Windsor Spitfire uniform for the upcoming 2013-14 season. Taken 36^th overall in the 2013 NHL draft, the six-foot-two, 190-pound center would be the second European secured by the Spitfires, who have already locked up the Russian forward Nikita Yazkov. Despite his eagerness to move to the OHL, De La Rose is at the mercy of his current club Leksand, who reserve the right to hold on to the talented Swedish youngster.
