BCHL with the backwards thinking. They are independent now, so there's no transfer fee at all at the moment. A ton of guys have left for the CHL already. If they try to put this clause in the future, no one's going to sign with that league.

Well, Youngstown is a halfway mark more or less for teams traveling to and from Erie into Michigan, so that's not really an add travel-wise. Muskegon is a couple hours west of Flint and Saginaw, so it's an add but not much of one.
Only question is if the OHL wants to add more. Even the next closest other than the development team is in the Chicago suburbs, and that's almost four hours in good conditions. That's a big add, albeit being in Chicago's backyard might be viewed as worth it.
Anywhere else further north or west is a huge add travel-wise.

That's my first thought. The OHL seems to hold all the cards here, I'm not sure how it benefits from adding USHL teams.
That said, as someone who wants the USHL to remain relevant, I'm all in favo(u)r of it.
also BCHL/USHL can't force a player to stay nor can impede the player from wanting to switch leagues. I don't think this transfer fee idea is gonna hold up especially in the courts if anyone where to challenge it.
