This is a bargaining position. Its saying to the flames that the city is will to kick in X00 million as part of an Olympic bid for a new arena. If the Flames want to join they can upgrade that to a new arena. That 5k-6k arena never gets built it just preserves the city bargaining position as opposed to including a 17k seat Arena as part of the bid.
Winsport only seats 3k. I'm surprised it isn't a Women's hockey Venue for non Canada / US games.
