As Sureloss notes, the Pacific teams want less travel and less playing to allow for more practice time. Most of the other teams want more games for more revenue, but I suspect that we'll see the entire AHL schedule reduce in games over time as more NHL teams take control of their affiliates.
As far as the game disparity goes, I hope nobody on a California team has any bonus clauses for winning a scoring title.
