Ex-Edmonton Oiler Officially Hits Rock Bottom of His 10-Year NHL Career
Flames Waive Former Edmonton Oilers Defenseman
The Calgary Flames have made a significant decision, placing veteran defenseman Jordan Oesterle on waivers. Oesterle, a former Edmonton Oilers player from 2014 to 2017, recently joined the Flames after his contract with the Detroit Red Wings expired in 2021. He is a NHL veteran of 10 years, and may be a valuable asset for many teams in need of a defensemen.
While the chances of Oesterle being claimed off waivers are slim, his budget-friendly cap hit could appeal to teams seeking short-term defensive help.
If claimed, it's likely that Oesterle's role in a new team won't differ significantly from his current one with the Flames. However, Calgary needs to clear his $925K cap hit, with only $295K in available salary cap space after using LTIR.
