For whatever reason the league wants to keep Detroit in the West. I assume it's because they are a good draw in some of the softer Western markets. Taking Detroit away and replacing them with Winnipeg cant be something that would please the Jackets, Predators, Blues, or Blackhawks as Winnipeg isn't going to bring out big crowds in most US cities while Detroit will fill seats.
