Brad Treliving eyes signing Tyler Bertuzzi's good friend to secure extension

According to one user on X, formerly Twitter, Toronto has a reported interest in Calgary Flames defenseman Jordan Oesterle as a defensive depth option.

The rumor, although unconfirmed in major media outlets, has a sense of believability as its a smaller news report.

Jordan Oesterle, a friend of pending Leafs UFA Tyler Bertuzzi, adds a sense of curiosity over the potential it could have on the signing of Bertuzzi, a move Toronto is trying to finalize. Bertuzzi and Oesterle played together for two seasons in the NHL with the Detroit Red Wings during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.

Jordan Oesterle split time last season between the NHL and AHL, both in Calgary with the Flames and Wranglers. Oesterle had 2 points in 22 games for the Flames in the NHL, along with 2 goals & 19 points in 30 games in the American Hockey League. Oesterle would likely be a depth signing for Toronto with call-up potential.

Jordan Oesterle is a ten-year NHL veteran, the defensive defenseman having 19 goals, 67 assists & 86 points in 371 games played for the Edmonton Oilers, Chicago Blackhawks, Arizona Coyotes, Detroit Red Wings & Calgary Flames.
