Where do you live? Pick the closest team.

Do you want a competitive team now or a team which is building itself up? If the latter, pick the sabres. Nobody will ever accuse you of bandwagoning.

Maple Leafs. Historic team. Sucked for a long time now so when (if) they are good again no one can accuse you of band-wagoning. Color scheme is decent too.

there are several ways to pick a team to root for
1. hometown heroes - pick the team closest to your proximity, you're most likely to have a large fandom for the team already established in your town, their games will be played in your local bars/pubs/restaurants, and the games will be in close distance to actually go and physically see.
2. start watching games - after a few games with one team you should be able to determine whether or not you'll like them and want to keep following them!
3. choose based on aesthetic - a lot of people i know chose their favorite sports team based on uniform and color theme (are you a black and yellow kind of guy? pittsburgh's penguins might be up your alley, into sick logos? san jose sharks, etc)
4. choose randomly or take a quiz/test to determine who you should root for, such as this image

Cooper Flores
5. ask your friends and family what their favorite teams are, start watching their games and find a new thing to bond over! none of them into hockey? what about a favorite celebrity? find out what team they're into
