Because theres no TV deal, so you have to sell tickets. If you dont sell tickets you dont have a business.

Force the TV deal issue. NHL has buying power to have that included in their bargaining. We all are aware every major sports league is having gate driven revenue issue. Take that away from the start. Use the league to test out new innovations much like the AHL.
That in seat gambling application that we all know is coming at some point have it at an Inferno game and see if it works before 18k people show up to try it. Hockey players aren't asking for 77k salaries I am sure you can pay them less give them access to benefits that are already included as part of an NHL club like top of the line training and athletic support.
