I have not seen anything reported that says close to 50% of the league’s revenue comes from gate receipts, which is what your numbers suggest.
Extreme probably isn’t the right word, misguided might be more suitable. You’re making this argument without considering a number of relevant factors such as how much the league will save on operating costs compared to last year, how much revenue goes to taxes etc.

Is this you being nice again? I missed that last time and maybe missed it again.
Two sources have revenue at $1.7M and $1.8M per game. Math from there drives the revenue to 49%.
That's just as viable as your 36% from some obscure pay stats site.
Some more math ...
NHL attendance last year was an average of 17,380 per game.
Average aftermarket ticket price was $135
17,380 x $135 = $2.4M per game, way more than $1.7M and that doesn't include concessions.
So after market is up from the average price? Fair response. But to get ticket revenue to 36% on it's own you have to drop the price to $74, and that still doesn't include any concession or merch sales at games.
36% just doesn't hold water, it's not that hard to support $1.7M to $1.8M
