Most Cost Effective Team to Follow (Between Rangers, Devils, and Islanders)

Hi, I’m moving to the Jersey City/NYC area and I desperately want to see a few hockey games this season. It’s already a given that I’m going to try and see the New York Sirens play (and Ottawa Charge when they play them) but deciding on the NHL team to try and follow has been harder and is mostly going to come down to money.

I’m just curious which team (at least this coming season) is most likely to be the most cost effective team to try and target to see games? They’re all about an equal distance (and same transit price really) from where I’m planning to live.

I also want to try and see a preseason game but I’m not sure how pricing fully works there.

For extra context: I don’t have an NHL team in general as most of the hockey I’ve watched in person has been my university team or my younger cousins in high school.
