Boston Bruins set to announce a massive signing and we have the details
The Boston Bruins have one important RFA who they cannot let walk into free-agency, while the goaltending situation is still uncertain.
That RFA is in the AHL, the current Providence Bruins goalie Brandon Bussi, who is expecting a contract from Boston.
Bussi's last contract was a one-year, two-way contract in 2023-2024 for a league minimum of $775K.
But they're intent on keeping Bussi around:
It appears with a Linus Ullmark trade in the future, signing Bussi is a priority as he could end-up being Jeremy Swayman's back-up in net.
Bussi's been a great goalie in the AHL, since his arrival in Providence in 2021-2022. His first full season would begin in 2022-2023, he had a .924 sv% and led with All-Rookie Team honors, and landed a spot on the Atlantic Division All-Star team.
It is doubtful that the Bruins will let Bussi walk to free-agency as he is sure to get an look in the NHL this season.
