Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider shared his thoughts on the news.

LRT: Crescenzi, LoVerde, Budaj, Campbell on waivers. Does Budaj, the AHL’s top goalie last year, get claimed?

Rosen continued.

Of course, the Kings’ attempt to assign Budaj and Campbell to AHL-Ontario officially confirms that Zatkoff will back up Quick.

Budaj is a former second round pick of the Colorado Avalanche in the 2001 NHL Draft. Rosen shared more of his thoughts on the Budaj situation .

With waivers, timing is important. LA exposed Berube two days before the season last year, lost him. They hope Budaj clears nine days out.
