It's a franchise tradition. While I know technically this is a new franchise, we all know its ties back to the Jets/Coyotes.
*Ahem* Anyway...
Back when the original Winnipeg Jets were here, the old Winnipeg Arena had several rows of seats in the south end obstructed, albeit in that case, it was the net on the far side that was obscured by the rafters.

I grew up in Winnipeg and you are correct, the old Winnipeg Arena had some spots where you couldn’t see the ice level. They installed small tvs that way you can see where the action is.

Just to add to my point regarding the obstructed view seats at the Winnipeg Arena...you see the pale blue seats on the right side of the seating chart? Yeah, those are the ones. Those seats were just over half the price ($12) than the ones below them ($25) at that time (1994-95).
For a better visual of which seats were obstructed view when the original Jets were here, here's a photo I took during a Manitoba Moose game in 2001. See the seats that are covered with advertisements? Yeah, those are the ones.
