Other than announcing a location, what homework have the Flames done? Infrastructure issues? Nope. Transit load? Nope. Parking? Nope. Orphaning the river? Nope. How they are going to pay for it? Sort of. The look of the Arena? Nope. The roof on the building "Something translucent". Environmental damage? Nope. Environmental clean up? Nope.
So, other than location and committing 200 million dollars of their own money, which is a fraction of the entire cost of the project, what have they done?

Initiated a discussion? This is an idea, a proposal for a large and ambitious project. I think it was their intention to get people talking and involved in discussions, not to mock the concept as being half-baked.
