In rounds 1 + 2, yes, worst case scenario they could play St. Louis and then Chicago, or the other way around. It's just as likely though that St. Louis + Chicago play each other in R1, like they did this past season.
Regardless, if you want to win a cup, you have to beat the best teams in the league. This is the ways it's always been. What's the point in playing 3 rounds in the Eastern Conference, when you know you're not good enough to beat the team that comes out of the West?

I made this point last year. Watching the ECF because I was in Montreal, what was the point? They were auditioning for an ass kicking because neither team had a hope in hell against either LA or Chicago.
