This is actually a fantastic idea, except for 2 things:
1. Locals would be up in arms about it. This is pretty close to the McMahon NIMBYs, remember. I can't think of any recent situation where someone proposed a sports complex in a residential area, that wasn't met by insane opposition.
2. The LRT stations there are nowhere near adequate for a hockey game. You'd have to close down 14th Ave just to deal with the crowds that would mill about everywhere. But yeah, given a radical alteration to the community, it could work.
Plus, it gets rid of that horrible Sears.
