Mmmmh I think the fan base does have to do with the selection of the teams, Greater Toronto has a population base of about 6.5 million. Toronto's economy is great, and there are literally no impediments to Leafs fans filling the Big House in Ann Arbor...

The Wings could be playing an AHL team and the game would sellout. Where the opponent is important is for TV ratings. And that's not about the specific team's fanbase, but if they're good/have history/have a big star to sell the game to the casual fan. The Jackets have none of those three things (besides maybe a star in Nash, but he's too quiet and is on too bad of a team for him to be well-known to the causal America sports fans).
