No. Not this season at least, I don't think any owner is expecting to turn a profit the first year, what with the cost of investment, and start up being high. That said, they might not lose money even with poor sales because of their prices.
For example if they sell 2000 tickets at 40 bucks for 15 home games (could be more if they advance in the Voyageur cup) they will turn a profit on ticket sales alone of 1,200,000. Plus the revenue from parking, merch, sponsors, their TV deal, and refreshments. With a salary cap of 1M, and probably an operating cost of a similar number, they will likely break even.
