Because NHL teams assign players under contract there.

Some fans might be, I wouldn't. I've seen various AHL games over the last 20+ years and by and large it's not a cohesive team hockey game. Most players are playing "their" game trying to stand out. It can be sloppy ugly hockey. Junior can be the same but it's more due to young an inexperience which I don't mind.
If the Heat land in Calgary it'll be four a handful of years before they find another solution. It won't make a blip.
