From a fan perspective alone, if I were choosing a new team and had no ties or allegiances to anyone, it'd be one of these two teams that I'd choose.
From a place to live standpoint, tiebreaker goes to San Jose for the reasons outlined in this thread. Anaheim is basically in LA so it knocks it down a peg.
If I'm Ras, San Jose would be high on my list of places to play. Live in obscurity, good to great hockey market, tons of potential to win cups with a top 3 young talent in the league in Celebrini along with a tantalizing prospect cupboard. Free agents will be flocking to SJ as of next offseason.
