While the St. Louis Blues sit at home with the NHL playoffs continuing in the background, the team’s offseason got underway in an unexpected fashion. The Blues lost a player that, quite frankly, many might have forgotten about.
Jacob de La Rose has left the team for greener pastures in Europe. de La Rose will return to his native Sweden, where he has signed a three-year contract, according to Jim Thomas of the Post-Dispatch.
