Article says the Avalanche and Coyotes have recently bought AHL teams. The Ducks are the last team needing to buy an AHL franchise.
6 teams for the AHL west divison is
LA -> Ontario, Cali
San Jose -> Fresno, Cali
Colorado -> Denver, Colo
Phoenix -> Prescott Valley, Az
Anaheim -> San Diego, Cali
Winnipeg -> Thunder Bay (doesn't really seem to make sense, in terms of being part of this division)
