Ok, so I don't know if this can be incorperated, but I notice that laravel doesn't have a way of generating a secure named route. I took a look at the functions. From what I can see, this is what would be required to implement it. If anyone wants to take a look at implementing it further, please feel free. I'm currently testing it to see it there is a way.

public function linkSecureRoute($name, $title = null, $parameters = array(), $attributes = array()) 
{
	return $this->secureLink($this->url->route($name, $parameters), $title, $attributes)
}

if ( ! function_exists('secure_route'))
{
    /**
     * Generate a HTTPS route url for the application.
     *
     * @param string $path
     * @param mixed $parameters
     * @return string
    */
    function secure_route($name, $parameters = array(), $absolute = true, $route = null)
    {
        return app('url')->route($name, $parameters, $absolute, $route);
    }
}
