Seeing how both cities are in the pacific time zone, you would think they would have to be in the pacific division. Same as the three California teams and Vancouver. So that leaves Calgary, Edmonton, and Arizona.

I take it that would mean Arizona gets moved to the central? Is that fair logistically for them?
Pacific
Anaheim
Calgary
Edmonton
Las Vegas
Los Angeles
San Jose
Seattle
Vancouver

Central
Arizona
Chicago
Colorado
Dallas
Minnesota
Nashville
St. Louis
Winnipeg

I think this is the best way. Calgary to the Central might make a little more sense geographically, but they can't have them in a different division than Edmonton or Vancouver, can they?
