Perhaps the money gets spent regardless, however, it doesn't go to those that count on it. No arena, perhaps no NHL, and those bars are gone. No NHL, people spend the money on movies, travel, who knows what else, just not in "the core" where the arena benefit would be.

So that justifies hundreds of millions in subsidies from a broke province and a broke municipality? So that a couple of bars can make money?

Worst. Argument. Ever.
