25,000 miles of travel difference between first and last team in the NHL next season

[adsfan]

In an ideal world, you'd like to see the 2-3 clubs that are close to each other work together on setting their home schedules so that teams when traveling can hit both (Edm/Cal, Sea/Van, Utah/Col, Fla/TB, California, etc.) all on 1 trip when the head out.

But, not always going to be the case.

The AHL does some of that with teams traveling out of their division or conference.

San Diego can land in Chicago and play the Wolves. They can bus the 90 miles to Milwaukee. Then bus to Rockford and play game 3. Then back to Chicago and O'Hare Airport and go home.

Manitoba did it last season, but they are in the same division with 3 teams above.
