Kings place Brooks Laich on unconditional waivers
http://www.tsn.ca/kings-laich-on-unc...tract-1.926281
Quote:
The Los Angeles Kings have placed forward Brooks Laich on unconditional waivers with the intent of mutually terminating his contract.
General manager Rob Blake confirmed the move Sunday. The Kings had assigned Laich to the American Hockey League's Ontario Reign on Saturday after the 34-year-old cleared regular waivers.
Laich's future is uncertain. Agent Roland Thompson did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment on his client's plans.
The Wawota, Saskatchewan, native attended Kings camp on a professional tryout agreement and continued skating with the team after he was released from it. The Kings signed Laich to a prorated deal for the league minimum $625,000 in mid-October after centre Jeff Carter underwent surgery to repair a cut on his left leg in the sixth game of the season.
Carter remains out indefinitely, but Laich had been a healthy scratch for five consecutive games and Los Angeles acquired forward Torrey Mitchell from the Montreal Canadiens on Thanksgiving. Laich, who had one assist in 12 games, was waived the next day.
Laich was out of the NHL all last season and played 27 games for the AHL's Toronto Marlies. Before that, he spent the vast majority of his career with the Washington Capitals.
In 776 regular-season games with the Ottawa Senators, Capitals, Toronto Maple Leafs and Kings, Laich has 134 goals and 198 assists for 332 points.

^ Would've been funnier if you kept the correct spelling of his name; the joke still works phonetically (sort of)

All I can get

776 career games for a sixth-rounder is a pretty good run.

I'm pleasantly surprised no one has suggested the Flames pick him up.
