There are three possible options in Calgary:
1. A new arena is built by a public-private partnership.
2. A new arena is built entirely with public money.
3. No new arena is built. Eventually the Saddledome wears out and has to be shut down, and the city has no large venue for indoor sporting events or concerts.
If you want to see an arena built entirely with private money, you'd better relocate to a city twice the size of Calgary.

The fourth option is the NHL/NHLPA gets its house in order so it can afford to pay players and also pay for a facility.
It's disingenuous to suggest your options are the only ones.
