Who knows maybe a schanks downtown or new flames central goes down there as the go to sports watching venue close to the arena.
In regards to the parking, why not park downtown in any of the city lots for $2 and take the train a couple stops (or walk 15 mins). I don't know why people want a ton of parking around the actual arena when there is a ton of parking spots 15 minutes away. Currently people who park on the grounds have to either leave early or wait 15 -30 minutes to get out anyways. Ideally, for events, they would expand the free fare zone that one stop and people would probably be more then willing to park in heated parking lots in the core.

They are speculating. Making it sound great but really they pulled that out of their whatsit
