EDGE Analysis

Considering Laich hasn't played since he was waived by the Kings back in November of 2017, his announcement shouldn't come as a surprise. Over the course of his 13-year NHL career, the veteran center logged 776 games for Ottawa, Washington, Toronto and Los Angeles in which he tallied 134 goals, 198 assists and 1469 shots while averaging 15:24 of ice time. Laich added another 32 points in 65 playoff contests but failed to ever lift Lord Stanley's cup.
