I heard in the San Diego news that the Portland Pirates may move to San Diego. The reason they gave was that the Anaheim Ducks want their affiliate the Portland Pirates closer to Anaheim. I cant find any more info on this, does anyone have more info?

The only way the Portland Pirates would move to San Diego is if the Ducks buy the Franchise. The Pirates are owned by a local ownership group. It is well known that Anahiem wants their affiliate on the West Coast. But until a franchise becomes available for them to buy it won't be possible in the AHL. They could move their primary affiliate to the ECHL and buy a franchise there.

Anaheim reportedly attempted to buy the Peoria Rivermen before they were sold to the Blues.

And that's why they pulled out of Cincinnati for Portland, Maine, killing a viable franchise and about burning a solid market to the ground?
