During the CHL trade period leading up to the deadline, there was a ton of activity with pieces moving and teams jockeying to outdo their rivals to secure playoff position. Although Jake Bean was the only Hurricanes prospect on the move, many of the teams with Carolina prospects added to their squads over the past two weeks.
Bean was moved from the Calgary Hitmen to the Tri-City Americans in a move that netted the Hitmen picks and prospects for the future. With Tri-City, Bean will join fellow Canes prospect Morgan Geekie who is the leading scorer for the Americans this season.
