AHL adding 31st team so every NHL franchise has its own affiliate [SB Nation]

The Colorado Avalanche are elevating the ECHL's Colorado Eagles to the AHL to become their new affiliate with their current AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage, becoming the Blues's affiliate. The Blues don't currently have an affiliate because the Chicago Wolves signed on with the Las Vegas Knights.

So, there's going to be some shuffling. Good news is the Marlies will still be the Leafs's affiliate.  :)
