Garon proved to be a capable starter with a mediocre Los Angeles team under coach Andy Murray in 2005-06. The Kings won 42 games, 31 of those with Garon. He was 31-26-3 in 63 games.
Despite a breakthrough season, Garon played just 32 games last season when Marc Crawford took over as coach and deemed Dan Cloutier, who had inked a three-year deal, the starter.
Garon went 13-10-6 with a 2.66 GAA and .907 save percentage, but it became obvious he'd have to look elsewhere for his opportunity. Enter the Oilers.
"I thought going to LA would be my chance," Garon said. "They changed the coach and the GM. I was not the guy any more. I knew I would not get a chance, so it was best for me to get out of there.
