I don't know how the AHL can play without fans unless the NHL covers a lot of their losses. But one thing they can look at is the independent baseball league that started up on July 3rd in the Mid-Western states in the US as they have had fans at their games.
You have to think that even the independently owned AHL franchises will get help from the NHL since that is where the NHL affiliate will have their contracted players play.
