I think for starters it could be just a generic league, like it is in the main NHL universe. They could pull in mostly American players who aren't playing in the CHL/USHL/NAHL. They should probably have the highest priority for young American players next to the CHL, I think.
Then over time functionality could be added to make it viable as a playable league. Right now my main concern is there's no way to have the NCAA/college hockey in a custom game, even as just a place to put draftees for development and such.
