*Shrug*  Or the MSU-Mankato exception (played 7 WCHA teams this year).  Or
the Nebraska-Omaha exception (for all the complaining coming out of Omaha),
who played 4 different WCHA teams.  Despite the limited number of
non-conference games.  It hasn't been that hard for emerging programs in the
west to schedule some good games.  Granted, it's not the same as getting a
whole league full of teams at the last minute, but it isn't nothing, either.
