I am not sure they really profit from the imagery directly. I would wager their merchandise sales are pretty much 100% because they are a hockey club and people will buy the merchandise regardless of the logo.
Removing the imagery will reduce exposure and audience of the artistic style, which is fine if that is what people want. Salish artists don't need the Canucks promoting anything for them.
