The Bruins sent forward Marco Sturm to the Los Angeles Kings in a trade Saturday night that brings Boston salary cap space -- but nothing else -- in return.
The trade, contingent on Sturm passing a physical, was announced about 30 minutes before the Bruins faced the Philadelphia Flyers. The news release said Boston would receive "future considerations," but general manager Peter Chiarelli met with reporters and said: "Really, it's nothing."
"Keep in mind the value of cap space," Chiarelli said. "That's what you have to keep in perspective. I'm not trying to justify trading for nothing. Of course we like to get return for our player."

The NHL's leading German-born scorer with 234 goals and 232 assists, Sturm has spent the last six of his 14 seasons with the Bruins after coming to Boston in the trade that sent eventual Hart Trophy winner Joe Thornton to the San Jose Sharks. Sturm scored 29 goals with 30 assists in Boston and L.A. that year, his best NHL season so far.
