There always has been a handful of NHL teams with attendance issues, it's been that way since the original expansion over 50 years ago.

In other words, before COVID. The current drops in attendance have everything to do with a Worldwide pandemic, and recent inflation, and nothing to do with "trouble with attracting younger fans."
You're going on about how "loyal older fans" are dying off, yet at nearly every hockey and football game I have been to in the last 20 years, the average age of spectators is probably around 30. The life expectancy in Canada is roughly 82.
