Brooks Laich will hold off on return to NLA
Brooks Laich - W - Washington Capitals
Jan. 2, 2013 - 1:00 PM ET

Brooks Laich won't return to Switzerland until some kind of resolution comes out of the current CBA negotiations.

"Everything is open right now," he said. Laich has spent most of the work stoppage with the Kloten Flyers of Switzerland's National League A, where he has picked up 18 points in 19 outings. Laich believes his time in Europe has helped him prepare for NHL play, but he was reluctant to say if playing overseas will give an advantage to those that chose not to sign with a lockout club.
