-Don't the players pay back a % of their income (or income is withheld so the true player expenses is less - held in escrow)?
-TV contract
-NHL Revenue sharing
-Merchandise and other sales
-?
I don't know why I am posting this other then to highlight your overly simplistic comment- I assume those other income buckets are not just a rounding error but matter. What would the expenses go for $6-9M? How much are the coaches paid? I imagine they are the biggest % of other expenses along with travel

Yup. I didn't do a deep dive. Clearly. Nor, will I. I'm just saying it's hypothetically feasible to make money in a tiny arena.
Imagine the opposite of a stadium experience. Set up a 5000 person arena for a Maple Leafs vs Canadiens game. Or a BoA? How much could you sell those tickets for? The Corral was just over 7000 people. I'm old enough, but unfortunately never got to attend a game there. Must have been glorious. If I get the opportunity to attend a Coyotes game in that venue, I might take it. It's a novelty that will wear off, but will be interesting for a short time.
