per the Las Vegas Review-Journal

Would most certainly mean the team will be in the AHL pacific division.

Sacramento would put 3 AHL teams in real close proximity to each other. Stockton, Sacramento, and San Jose are all within an hour drive of each other.

Fresno is about a 2.5 hour drive southeast of Stockton

Summerlin is a suburb of Las Vegas would give the expansion team the enviable situation of having the affiliate and NHL team in the same city. However two pro hockey teams in the same city might split ticket sales and hinder building a NHL brand with the locals.
