There were already rumblings last week that Jacob de la Rose was looking for a new place to play next season. Christian Dubé, head coach and team manager of HC Fribourg-Gottéron, confirmed to "La Liberté" that they were interested in the Swede but that several teams were looking to acquire the forward.
The forward, who was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in 2013, was part of Sweden's Olympic team this year and suited up in 41 games for Färjestad BK, recording six goals and nine assists.
