So why would the CSEC need to relocate a hockey team over that?

But thats not the case. It is not a zero-sum scenario.
We could very realistically have an old arena and nothing else.
The arena funding, whether it goes ahead or is cancelled doesnt guarantee the Green Line or Tax Reductions or service improvements or....anything else really.
