the second someone with the dough to own and operate the team wants a team.
There would be an AHL team in Kansas City this year if Hunt and the Blues thought they could make one work in Independence. They didn't think it would work and that's not likely to change in the near future. VGK likely would have still affiliated with the Wolves regardless of what St. Louis did.
There is no line for the next AHL franchise, whoever wants it gets it. The reason there isn't a 31st team in the AHL today is because Vegas couldn't make it work independently yet and St. Louis dropped the ball on the other options.
