Economics? Well they still want fans next year.
I wonder how much flames on-ice success correlates to season ticket sales. I assume there is some type of correlation, even if its a multi-year average with a slow reaction from ticket sales. I guess 1-3 years of bad play can be nearly immediately offset by one year of competitive play i.e. I assume fans come back much quicker than they leave?
I am sure the flames have this number, and the data would be publicly available.
Has anyone ran this comparison before?

Toronto has been a joke for decades in the past and it never mattered financially.
Financially, making the POs is a big deal - added revenue and no salaries.
Here’s Calgary’s attendance: solid, with the only dip being late 90s when they were out of the POs consistently until Sutter came, so you could argue the 2004 success got them back up.

All you could say about the attendance numbers is that they were lower when Calgary didn’t make the POs and had a team that was generally not winning the majority of games. Having a medicine team that makes thePOs but doesn;t go far? No real effect.
