the difference is that Toronto and Hamilton were in the same division as the Heat last season, and will be in the same conference this coming season. St. John's will play in the Eastern conference.

The AHL has also reduced the number of games next season from 80 to 76, so there will likely be even fewer interconference games

Still, I agree that of the limited games against the eastern conference, St. John's is a likley opponent
