They had Zach Parise. Now they don't.
Also the Stars aren't the top seed in the whole Western Conference by fluke. They led the league in scoring and with a stacked forwards group that just gets through the neutral zone beautifully and then gets the puck deep, and their blueline with Klingberg/Goligoski/Demers is really underrated. Russell's weaknesses are being impressively masked and his strengths amplified, too.
This is more the Stars being really, really good than the Wild being really, really bad. The Wild are about as bad as the Flames, except with goaltending.
