During the offseason, the Jets made some intriguing moves, acquiring young talents like Gabriel Vilardi, Alex Iafallo, and Rasmus Kupari in the Pierre-Luc Dubois trade. They also secured long-term extensions for key players, including Mark Scheifele and Connor Hellebuyck.

However, these efforts failed to entice fans to fill the seats.

On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Kings, along with Pierre-Luc Dubois, faced off against the Jets at the Canada Life Center.

A mere 11,226 spectators purchased tickets for the game, marking the lowest attendance since the team's relocation from Atlanta.

In recent years, there has been significant concern about the Jets' locker room environment, with reports of toxicity. Although this season appears different, the damage to the fan base may already be irreparable.

While the NHL is exploring relocation options for the Arizona Coyotes, they might now need to consider the possibility of moving another team in the near future.
