You could just move Detroit back to the West...So this makes the conferences 17 for the East and 15 for the West? There is still a discrepancy between the two and that is bologna.

I can't imagine a scenario where Detroit is shifted back west...they fought tooth and nail to get out of it, they always have (hell, they even altered the schedule of the 1994 WCQF vs. San Jose)...and for good reason, to be fair...
At least it's better than what the AHL is doing this season...the western teams won't even play the same amount of games as the rest of the league...

They are destroying the AHL by gutting the northeast foundation. What they should do there is what MLB does with the PCL and the IL.

I'm not sure what baseball does in this regard...but the push was from NHL teams to have their affiliates closer. The NHL, if I'm correct, used to have two top affiliate programs back around the big expansion...the AHL and the WHL...they were of fairly similar quality, AIUI...
But yeah, the AHL has some convoluted system this season...curious to see how it all unfolds...it is not well received from what I've seen...the logistics are tough in the minors though...

Also, I believe the PCL and IL are both separate leagues, but count as "AAA" when you refer to the level of play.
I think what FR is saying is that they should have a 15 team (or whatever) "EAHL" and a 15 team "WAHL" and have them just play amongst themselves instead of whatever the AHL I'd trying to do currently (which I'd guess is what the AHL and WHL did).

Any chance the eliminate "East" and "West" but instead go with non-geographicaly based conferences?
Maybe realign the entire league now kind of like the NFL?

The PCL and IL are independent "AAA" leagues that are roughly split East/West to reduce travel/expenses, etc...
Which is what they should have done with the AHL rather than uprooting successful AHL teams in the Northeast and put them in California cities.

Same as the WHL/AHL that I referenced back in the day, indeed.
