I agree, but I get why teams do it in some cases. Having Wilkes-Barre/Scranton named the Penguins puts their NHL owners in the forefront when 6 NHL teams are closer to WBS than Pittsburgh while still being in Pittsburgh's television market. Having teams share a name 1,000 miles away is just lazy. I still would have preferred WBS gone with Hornets, given the link with Pittsburgh and the AHL, but I get why the Penguins did it.

It worked too, the Wilkes Barre/Scranton area seems to have really embraced the big boys along with the "baby penguins". Also, it's only 4.5 hours away from Pittsburgh which isn't bad at all for an affiliate.
