Ottawa doesn't need two NHL-sized arenas. If it was Toronto, sure, an alternative venue would be great.

And there is also an arena with 10,000 capacity in the heart of the city at Lansdowne that competes for events.
There is also a 4-5,000 capacity venue currently under construction in Gatineau. Though I don't think that will compete much with the Ottawa venues in terms of events.
