Although my pick for the worst team would have been Philly before the playoffs. One of the lowest scoring teams entering the playoffs, defense isn't anything special, Elliott in net. Outside one game where the Penguins felt good about themselves, they've been a trainwreck, 18-6 goal differential in four games is a slaughter.
The Wild at least have solid goaltending, and they always put up a fight in the playoffs, even if it never gets them anywhere.

This statement doesn't mean a whole lot in a discussion of the best 16 teams. They still scored over 3 goals a game in the regular season and boasted Giroux's 102 point season, not to mention Voracek (85), Couturier (76), and defenseman Gostisbehere (65). Secondary scoring might be a little lower, but they have some good offensive players.
Elliott and team defense has been their downfall.
