While the NHL trade deadline is of course where the biggest splashes are made, the AHL trade deadline, which officially passed at 3:00 PM EST on March 28, can see significant moves get made to bolster playoff-bound teams.
The Chicago Wolves, currently leading the Central Division and on the verge of clinching a playoff spot, made a few moves of their own today to gather some reinforcements. The team is poised to make a deep playoff run, but has been dealing with injuries recently.
There is also the NHL playoffs to contend with; the Hurricanes will undoubtedly call up a few members of the Wolves to act as black aces for the NHL playoff run.
