Pitt
Not because I like them. I've given up on getting Murray though even at this point I think Pitt has moved on. Therefore Murray for Conn Smythe, Pitt moves MAF to the Flames for a 2nd rounder in 2016. MAF at 5.75 MM for 3 more seasons with Gillies coming up.
I would have said TB by the way with the hopes of Bishop winning the Conn Smythe and Vasilevskiy possibly becoming available for the same reasons as above, but it's all selfish.

Sharks for sure, but I'd be cool with either western team. Pens I can live with. Definitely not the Lightning.

Pittsburgh because growing up the Penguins were always my second team. But honestly, I'm finding it really difficult to give two craps with the playoffs this season. It's decent hockey I guess, but there's a severe lack of emotion happening on the ice. No real controversies, no "bad guy" teams. Just a bunch of vanilla teams playing vanilla hockey.

Sharks for me. No real hatred for that team. Thorton/Marleau/Burns getting a cup would be a nice story.
As an aside, I think they are built the way the Flames hope to be soon. Big, but still fast. Good possession game. Solid depth. A goalie that can stop pucks.

I'm hoping for the Blues to win, but I'd settle for the Penguins.
I don't want the Lightning to win because we have one of the playoff tree magnet boards and my son lost the Lightning's puck.
I don't want the Sharks to win because I worked with a Sharks fan and he was the most obnoxious Sharks fan ever. He's the type of guy whose fandom turns anybody off of the team. Fellow Sharks fans would be embarrassed of him.
I want the Blues to win because I just seem to like their team this year.

I picked San Jose in part because they have never won, and also for some of the reasons mentioned here.
However the only team out of the 4 I'd really not want to see win would be Pittsburg; mostly because I'd rather see somebody else win that hasn't won this decade. I used to share the hatred for Tampa due to 2004, however a few years ago I went to a game there and was really impressed with the fans. I was expecting an atmosphere like Phoenix, but time and time again I found fans who knew their team, and knew the game well enough to get into some good spirited arguments.
My biggest issue with Tampa was that there was a disproportionate number of pictures with Kipper looking over his shoulder behind him.

For me, it was a toss-up between the Sharks and the Lightning.
I like it when non-traditional hockey markets embrace their teams. Their fans seem more genuine, since they were not quite as indoctrinated into their fanbases. When the Lightning won the cup in 04, Tampa Bay was established as a solid hockey market.
But I went with San Jose, since they have a bunch of respectable vets that probably deserve a cup.
Honourable mention to Bouwmeester and the Blues. It would be funny to see him lifting the cup after being on so many bad teams. I wonder if he'd show any excitement in an interview after winning it all.

Sharks slightly preferred over St Louis. Big, fast, and reasonably clean (SJ>SL). Neither built by tanking for lottery picks.

Hoping for St. Louis to win it all, but I won't be too upset if Tampa wins it. Really don't want San Jose to win
