Stannis' death makes one game-changing fact : Melissandre didn't believe in him, she manipulated him in order to get king's blood. When seeing the wind turned against Stannis, she understood he wasn't the Lord of Light's champion.

Maybe Brienne spared him, but I hardly see how he could bounce back. He already had few forces, that were annihilated. The ONLY thing that may make him win Winterfell would be having the northern lords rally to him, that would catch up with my predictions for the book (victory for Stannis thanks to a trojan horse tactic)
