gonna rip off a comment here that sums up my expectations:

" The Isles played a fast game with the Pens (which is the Pens strength as well). The will dominate OTT, who are slow, old, and not deep."

can't argue with that.   the ONLY reason pittsubrgh looked like they were in trouble for the Cup is cause of NYI's speed.  now that NYI is gone, it actually should be slightly easier.   not that its easy.  same comment says Penns in 5.  I'll say 6 to be more conservative and realistic..
