Stannis is not still at the wall, did you somehow miss his entire march to Deepwood Motte and then to Winterfell?

I am not sure he really matters, he is surely about to die...

Also, who is left in the north to fight, they just seem to die constantly

You think so? He has a fairly powerful army and a red witch, as well as the support of the Night Watch. He will soon be allied with pretty much the entire North. Who would kill him?

EDIT: He also has the Iron Bank of Braavos.

People who can still claim the Lord Paramountcy of the North:

• Jon Snow (legitimised and named as heir by Robb. Perhaps his death frees him of his vows, so he is a free man when resurrected)
• Rickon Stark (Davos is searching for him)
• Arya Stark
• Sansa Stark
• Bran Stark

People left to fight: literally everyone in the entire North except for House Stark. House Manderly springs to mind, as well as House Reed and House Umber. The Karstarks are mostly traitors, unfortunately, but with the Lannisters in their current pitiful condition (Tywin dead, Kevan dead, Tyrion in Essos, Jaime either dead or far away, Cersei awaiting trial, Tommen is a child, Pycelle dead) and a Stark King in the North, I think most Northern lords would be willing to switch sides again.
