#tblightning trades Peter Budaj to Kings. Budaj got replaced by Louis Domingue down stretch last season. Had one more year left on deal.

Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times also reported the news.
Welcome back, Peter Budaj: Kings re-acquire Budaj from Tampa Bay for Andy Andreoff. My understanding is that Jack Campbell is still slotted as Quick’s backup; Budaj expected to be in Ontario.

Goes w/o saying that Budaj is one of the more humble guys around; always fun to chat; Andreoff is also a stand-up guy -wish him luck in TB.
