The actual hockey fans would be easy to sell.
And if you have a few lean years then so be it. That's the cost of becoming elite. When you have a few new superstars to cheer for and a team filled with young up and coming talent, the interest in the team will rejuvenate more than ever.

It really depends. Last year it was basically impossible to give tickets away because it was boring hockey. If it is bad and boring hockey then attendance will go down.
