Budaj was placed on waiver by the Kings on Sunday, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move to ship Budaj to the minors -- assuming he clears waivers -- settles the question of who will be the No. 2 behind Jonathan Quick, as Jack Campbell appears to have won this camp position battle. Given Budaj's experience, it's certainly possible a team snags him off waiver or tries to trade for him later in the season.
