AHL Re-Alignment

So, riddle me this... what was the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins doing in the Western Conference anyway?

In the summer meetings for the American Hockey League (AHL), the league commissioners voted in favor of realignment. The new divisions and conferences were marketed around local rivalries.

The "baby Pens" will compete against their rivals in the new Eastern Conference - East Division with: Bing-hampton (Sens), Albany (Devils), Philadelphia (Flyers), Hershey (Avalanche), Bridgeport (Islanders), Norfolk (Blackhawks).
