Worcester (lease up in 2015) swap with Bakersfield (has staffed the team like an AHL franchise this season). Creating the magical AHL West all in strong markets accomplished with NHL teams already owning the AHL teams.
There would be no way Alaska gets an AHL affiliate. Why?



Not sure if all the points are still 100% accurate, but the Heat already have the ugliest travel schedule. Imagine Alaska.
