I really like Brooks Laich as a person. But he's 2-3 years removed from regular NHL play ad has had a lot of surgeries to repair key core/ab/hip areas that are essential to power skating. He's 5 years removed at the least from being a 2LW in the NHL. He played zero NHL games last year. Sorry...even at NHL minimum, he doesn't fit in DET.
He wants a PTO from Ana, LAK, PHO, or VGK...to be close to California and his wife. If he cannot get on w/ any of those...he's probably going to retire.
