The Flames likely need a plan from the City to turn that into more than residential area because it's a dead area right now, and building just a rink isn't going to change that. Unless people have restaurants, bars, shopping, etc., they go to the game and leave.
I can tell you from my friends experience, that the City made him it a living nightmare to get his business setup in that area so I'm sure the Flames are going to want assurances that it's relatively business friendly are not going to have to deal with Nimby's and other such things fighting restaurants and bars tooth and nail.
