Habitually I refer to the Patriarcas as the New England family. But, in reality now, it would be more correct to call them the Boston/Providence family since they've had very little activity in Connecticut over the past decade. Depending on the damage done, DeLuca's cooperation could possibly decimate the Providence faction. Rossetti's impact on the Boston faction would be less because it's bigger. With the recent busts in both the Patriarca and Bruno families, it wouldn't be surprising to see them shortly become what the DeCavalcantes appear to be - bordering on non-viability.
Yeah... the Patriarcas will still be around, but in the same way that Kansas City is still around. Maybe not quite that bad.
This has happened before with the Scarfo mob when Tommy Del and Leonetti, a captain and an underboss, flipped. It was pretty much a wipeout. Sure the family was still around afterwards, but it was very diminished and never really recovered. All you had left were old Bruno soldiers, complete morons like the Stanfa-ites, and the young relatives of convicted Scarfo underlings.
