Jacob de La Rose Re-Signs With Montreal<\/h1>\n

De La Rose has spent his\u00a0entire four-year NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens. He has scored eight goals and 11 assists for 19 career points in 119 career NHL games. De La Rose has also played 12 career playoff games\u00a0but is still looking for his first post-season point.\u00a0 He was originally drafted in the second-round, 34th overall, by the Habs in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. De La Rose signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Montreal Canadiens in May 2014.<\/p>\n

Last season, he scored four goals and eight assists for 12 points in 55 games played. He also added 29 minutes\u00a0in penalties. His possession numbers were 47.8 percent Corsi with a relative Corsi of -2.4. De La Rose is coming off a one-year $725,000 contract that he signed last June with the Canadiens.<\/p>\n

What This Means for the Future<\/h1>\n

De La Rose is one of number of young centres competing for a spot on the Montreal Canadiens roster. The Habs are hoping that one of their\u00a0youngsters can step up and take the reigns as a top-six scorer at the NHL level. De la Rose spent the full season on the Habs in 2017-18, but has yet to cement himself a spot in the lineup. He found himself playing anywhere from the fourth to the second line last season.<\/p>\n

Along with Phillip Danault<\/a><\/strong>, Michael McCarron<\/strong>, Jake Evans<\/strong><\/a>, and Lukas Vejdemo<\/strong>, the Canadiens have a number of young centres that could step up\u00a0in the near future. They are going to be in a training camp battle to continue to earn ice time at the NHL level. With the Habs looking to rebound after a disastrous season, there might be quality ice-time available if de La Rose shows a bit more scoring touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
