Probably six of one, half a dozen of the other in terms of who wins, but I don't put much stock in the results of playoff series as some sort of gauge as to who will win a future game. I'm just going based on the rosters. Might as well flip a coin, I suppose, but as completely doomed as that team is they're decently constructed for October.
By the end of the year they'll likely have lost Hamhuis and Vrbata, (and possibly one or more of the other depth pieces there like Higgins, Hansen, Burrows etc) and that'll be all she wrote for the Sedin era, so it's a completely moot point for them whether they win, say, the first meeting with the flames on HNIC this year.
Enoch Root, I think you can put them last organizationally because the Sedins are a meaningless asset for the team. They aren't going to win, so what good does having the Sedins do other than some entertainment value? Toronto has Nylander and Marner, among others; they have a shot at a decent future and management looks much more competent than a few years ago.
