Kings waive Jason LaBarbera and George Parros...

...in hopes that no team picks them up from waivers and they end up in Manchester. Given goaltenders that went unclaimed (Sean Burke, Ty Conklin to name just two) and the prospect of Mikael Tellqvist being sent down by the Maple Leafs later today, chances are "La Bamba" actually makes it to the AHL (where he used to be an MVP two seasons ago).

Parros lost a battle for an enforcer spot to newcomer Raitis Ivanans. Since Alyn McCauley will start the season on IR (just started non-contact skating drills) Jeff Cowan keeps his place on the opening day roster as 4th line LW on the heels of his three goals in the final two exhibition games.
