It was a ludicrously bad design at the time, and could barely handle the traffic that went through it when Calgary was a city of 400,000.

Adding an arena to the plan would not significantly complicate the job of rebuilding that interchange. However, if they rebuild the interchange without deliberately leaving room for an arena (or other major development), they will permanently lose the opportunity to do anything useful with the West Village site.
Just guessing but your authority is the same as mine, the voice in your head saying who is the f^#&ing idiot who designed this mess the first time you drive it.
