What’s the appropriate NHL team for an Atlantan to root for?

Idk if it's the standard for Atlantans but I randomly picked the Lightning in 2015, so I got in while the getting was good lol
Nashville Predators seems like a good choice, too.

I guess the Caroline Hurricanes (Raleigh, NC) would be an option as well.

I avoided the Hurricanes just because I hate Charlotte sports teams, so I just dragged the hatred over into Raleigh too

The Knights were a minor league affiliate of the Lightning, so there is a (distant) connection to Atlanta that way.
Stan Drulia played four seasons for the Knights before getting a call up to the big club in Tampa.

Most hockey people I know in the greater metro root for the Preds.

I’d go with the Jets.
Not Winnipeg’s fault the Thrashers had horrible ownership.
Or Edmonton.

After the Thrashers and Knights, just can't get into hockey anymore outside of the Olympics.

I have moved to the preds, we are now in their market and have access to all of their games through the bally app, many are on Bally live. They are a much better run organization then the Thrashers ever were.

God I miss Knights games in the Omni. I was there when they won the Turner Cup.
