On the Los Angeles Kings …
Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider: Brooks Laich cleared waivers, and his contract was mutually terminated. When asked if there was any possibility for Laich to join their AHL as a player or mentor capacity – if it was discussed at all, coach John Stevens said:
“I think that option was available,” Stevens said. “I think in Brooks’ case, he wanted to try and continue to play in the National Hockey Legaue. This is home for him, so I think it was kind of a win-win situation for him and for us, but I think he’s at the point in his career where I do think he has other things that he has a lot of interest in doing. He’s a very active guy, he’s a great personality, he’s a really solid guy. I don’t think at this point in his career he wants to go back to the minors and do that. I think if he wanted to, it would’ve been available to him, but I don’t think he wanted to go back to the minors at this point.”
