A frustrated Mayor Stephen Mandel says the Oilers owner now has no choice but to come before council and publicly state exactly what he wants from the city and taxpayers to move ahead on a downtown arena deal that seems to be falling apart.

“I think that Mr. Katz’s memory of the history is different than mine,” Mandel said.
