Western expansion in the A has made it possible for NhL teams to have their AHL club close by.Seattle went with Palm Springs since there is a direct flight from there and Everett's airport.
If it’s not close by for travel reasons for the AHL club as you don’t want them isolated from their divisional opponents then the next best option is a city that has a direct flight from the A to NHL city.
