Winnipeg Jets

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, and I haven't bothered to glance at next year's schedule... But are the Jets still stuck in the Southeast Division? Or have they been re-aligned as planned?

Southeast still. The realignment didn't get approved by the players, but the NHL has total control over that. They just want something each side can agree upon and it looks like that will happen next year once they figure out the new CBA.

Oh I know that drastic re-alignment hadn't been approved by the players, but I thought Winnipeg would be switching with Detroit, Columbus, or Nashville this year.

Nope. The drastic realignment was the only way to get them over in the NHL's eyes. It didn't get approved so nothing changed as far as the division's and conference's.

Once the CBA stuff get's worked out they should have a plan on how the new divisions will look like.
