The costs of operating an AHL franchise are only a fraction of those for operating an NHL franchise. As with the AHL attendance argument, AHL revenues and expenses have little to no correlation to NHL potential.
Additionally, there are plenty of smart men who made lots of money elsewhere that became less rich attempting to operate a sports team. So really, the "the owner isn't a fool" argument holds no water either.
