jerks from the fanbase, etc, but fact remains the AHL was awaiting full expansion, which includes the expansion draft!
The Vegas team doesn't even have personnel, save for what 1 player, yet.
The NHL could have forced AHL expansion but didn't becise they wanted to tier it as well (NHL expansion the AHL). Too many moving parts while the unknowns come into focus.
Anyway, it all serves or interest, fandom, business?? & is cool to watch come together regardless.
Like you say, this could all be old news in relatively short order, if Vegas moves on to a West Coast located AHL affiliate at some point not too far down the road, which makes the most sense.
