If it's the Kraken, I supposed one of the nicknames will be the "Squid?"

According to the Desert Sun newspaper, the Palm Springs AHL Affiliate has apparently whittled their list down to:

Dragons
Sun
Falcons
Firebirds
Hawks
Eagles

Falcons -- Associated with the Springfield franchise (now named Thunderbirds)
Firebirds -- Associated with former Flyers affiliate in Syracuse
Hawks -- Um, no. Chicago makes this a non-starter.
Sun -- NBA's Phoenix Suns four hours away.

Dragons I can sorta see (mythical beast as is Kraken).

Generally, I think this list is out to lunch. There was a fan poll in which "Roadrunners" was the top choice.

Methinks Palm Spring-ians(?) will need to get better acquainted with the sport.
