Trade possibly on horizon for Kings

Team officials on both sides are publicly staying quiet for now, but sources have indicated that the Kings are close to pulling the trigger on the long-discussed trade for Boston forward Marco Sturm. It’s still believed that the price for Sturm would be a (highly) conditional draft pick. Sturm is still not ready to return to the lineup because of his knee injury, which is what scuttled talks the first time around, but the Kings ultimately decided to test the Sturm waters again. More updates as information is available.
