It's the end of the so-called 'caliphate' but most likely not the end of Daesh. I think they can yet stirr trouble for years to come. Especially where there is weaknesses and instability. Besides Iraq and Syria, they also have a presence in Lybia, Afghanistan, Africa and the Philippines.

There's no point in staying associate with penniless losers. The international groups will probably take back their old name or device new ones which won't spell like failure. Not to mention there are still plenty of jihadist group in Syria unrelated to Daesh, they will have room to make a name for themselves. That being said the Daesh chapter is about to close to irrelevancy, they will become just a minor nuisance by the end of the year.
