According to a report from NHL.COM the Bruins have traded Marco "the German" Sturm to the LA Kings. It would appear to be a cap saving room to make room for Bruins Star Marc Savard. Earlier this week the Boston Bruins traded former Michigan Wolverine defensemanMatt Hunwick to the Av's for former BU Terrier Defenseman Colby Cohen. Of course the Bruins haven't confirmed the trade yet.... Sturm last played in the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs and had been out recovering from a knee injury.
NHL.COM ------ Marco Sturm is about ready to start playing again. However, it won't be for the Boston Bruins.
Sturm, a 12-year NHL veteran who scored the overtime winner for the Bruins at Fenway Park at the 2010 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic, has been traded to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday, according to multiple media reports.
Details of what Boston received in return were not immediately available. This is the second trade the Bruins have made this week as they look to clear space under the salary cap -- veteran defenseman Matt Hunwick was dealt to the Avalanche on Monday in exchange for young blueliner Colby Cohen.
Sturm hasn't played in an NHL game this season after having right knee surgery. He was injured in Game 1 of the Bruins' Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Philadelphia Flyers.
The 32-year-old Sturm was a first-round pick (No. 21) by San Jose in the 1996 Entry Draft and played part of eight seasons with the Sharks before he was traded to Boston early in the 2005-06 season as part of the package for Joe Thornton.
