Most estimates have the average hockey game bringing in $1.7M / game for tickets and concessions.

So the average team in a season would bring home just under $80M in that revenue category. That goes to zero this year.

So no ... not hard to believe that fan-less hockey would put some teams in a pretty bad spot.
This isnt an argument you can win. You cant reason people out of positions that are inherently unreasonable.
