Here is a good article on AHL/ ECHL re alignment and how it could really work geographically.

There are a ton of holes in this proposal and would likely never come to fruition but some good points to. One problem is that closer does not mean easier travel. For example having the AHL franchise in Boisie ID, makes sense based on geography but not the most ideal situation for flights.
