Former Boston Bruins goalie prospect Brandon Bussi has been rewarded by the Carolina Hurricanes for his breakout season.<\/p>\n
The Hurricanes have announced that they have signed Bussi to a three-year contract, $5.7 million contract. Starting next season, the former Bruins prospect will have a $1.9 million average annual. That is a significant raise from his current $775,000 cap hit.<\/p>\n

When looking at how well Bussi has played for the Hurricanes this season, there is no question that he has earned this nice deal. The 27-year-old has proven that he belongs in the NHL, as he has a 23-3-1 record, a .908 save percentage, a 2.12 goals-against average, and two shutouts in 27 appearances for the Hurricanes.<\/p>\n
Bussi’s time with the Bruins organization ended this past off-season after he signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Florida Panthers. The Hurricanes then scooped him up off waivers before the start of the 2025-26 season, and it is clear that they made the right decision doing that.<\/p>\n
In 111 games over four seasons with the Providence Bruins, Bussi had a 63-31-12 record, .915 save percentage, and a 2.62 goals-against average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Boston Bruins goalie prospect Brandon Bussi has been rewarded by the Carolina Hurricanes for his breakout season.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":460267,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5099],"tags":[154,95,5132,19349,29451,530,29,57,5,4,1753],"class_list":{"0":"post-460266","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-bruins","8":"tag-boston","9":"tag-boston-bruins","10":"tag-bostonbruins","11":"tag-brandon-bussi","12":"tag-breakout-season","13":"tag-bruins","14":"tag-carolina-hurricanes","15":"tag-florida-panthers","16":"tag-hockey","17":"tag-nhl","18":"tag-providence-bruins"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116082872457733748","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460266\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
