I'm told the @Canes are closing on a potential trade of D Ethan Bear and a non @NHL roster player in exchange for a 5th Rd Pick from the @Canucks. Situation remains fluid **
This is the second trade in less than 24 hours for the Canucks, who yesterday acquired Jack Studnicka from the Boston Bruins. It is expected Bear will get a chance to play regularly in Vancouver after falling out of Carolina's defense corps.
