I'd prefer them to go out east... preferably in a market that will actually support the team. Glen Falls seems decent. Utica has low attendance but they do fairly well percentage wise. More practice time, less travel... just seems like an infinitely better situation for the players.
Flames managed for years and years not having an affiliate team close by... I'm sure they can survive the once every five years where they might have to play a man short or use some beer leaguer as a back-up goalie.
