Ah, good point. I wonder how the schedule will be structured, though. Will the Pacific teams even visit those on the East Coast, and vice versa?
It's been reported that it'll be similar to how it is currently, with a home-and-home against the other divisions in your conference, and little or no inter-conference play. Manitoba and Texas have said they expect to play the Pacific Teams, Hershey has said they don't.
I see what you mean, but I would think at least the independent AHL owners might have some objections.
You'd think, but the indepent owners also appear to be ok with the idea of giving the Pacific teams an 8-game advantage and pro-rated playoff spots.
