Is that with, or without, Spezza?

We're already out of it, boys:

Sens have 40:1 odds to win 09-10 Cup
The Senators apparently are being given 40:1 odds to win the Stanley Cup next season. That's 22nd in the league, worse odds than even the Dallas Stars (25:1)--who, like the Senators, failed to make the playoffs last season--as well as the Montréal Canadiens (30:1)--who currently have seven forwards under contract--and the Columbus Blue Jackets (35:1)--a franchise who has played exactly four playoff games.
Sorry for reproducing the whole thing here, but a kick in the nuts like this is best savored in its completeness.

I wonder if that's better or worse than the Leafs?
