Tyler Bertuzzi's friend on Brad Treliving's radar for contract extension

As one user on X, formerly Twitter, suggests, Toronto is considering Calgary Flames defenseman Jordan Oesterle to bolster their defensive depth.

While unconfirmed by major media outlets, the rumor carries a sense of credibility due to its origin from 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 divided his last season between the NHL and AHL, playing for both the Calgary Flames and their affiliate, the Wranglers. He recorded 2 points in 22 NHL games with the Flames, while scoring 2 goals and tallying 19 points in 30 AHL games. Oesterle is expected to join Toronto as a depth signing with potential for call-ups.

Jordan Oesterle, a seasoned NHL veteran with ten years of experience, has amassed 19 goals, 67 assists, and 86 points across 371 games played for the Edmonton Oilers, Chicago Blackhawks, Arizona Coyotes, Detroit Red Wings, and Calgary Flames.
