Does anyone expect that the Flames will come out and say here its is, this is how we'll build it and this is the plan to pay for it. If they do, great, good job, and the silence totally makes sense. If they come out and say here it is, help us pay for X, Y, Z because that's what Edmonton got they will be grilled by citizens and the City. We may not even see plans after the Mayor is "briefed" if there is any public money required for anything like infrastructure outside of what is currently funded.
The plan may blow our socks off but without knowing the specifics of how and where, I can't have any confidence in the plan other then they paid some people to draw up some really cool ideas.

I am pretty sure anything required public money would have to run by taxpayers through open houses and what not prior to getting any support.
