    The NHL's board of governors convened Tuesday and held a lengthy discussion on realignment.

    No resolution was reached, but NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said afterwards it was a chance for teams to express their views on the matter.

    The Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg in the offseason, but the Jets will remain in the southeast division in the Eastern Conference this season, giving the league more time to figure out conference alignment once Winnipeg moves to the West for the 2012-13 season.

    However, just how that move affects other clubs and other divisions remains to be seen.

    "Obviously we have to make arrangements to move Winnipeg west, and we had an opportunity to explore the issues," Bettman told NHL.com on Tuesday. "No conclusions were reached, but it's something I'm hopeful we can resolve at the December meeting."
