Not sure if I like the idea of independent teams.
IMO the NHL affiliated teams would ice superior teams, and the independent teams will be struggling to find talent to fill out a 23 man roster without NHL support.
Ideally you would want as much parity as possible in a development league, otherwise there isn't much development.
