REPORT: Breakdown of Brandon Bussi's Contract with the Boston Bruins
The Boston Bruins have made a significant move to bolster their goaltending depth by re-signing the promising netminder, Brandon Bussi.
The 24-year-old restricted free agent (RFA) has agreed to a one-year contract extension that will keep him with the organization until the end of the 2023-24 season.
Bussi's new deal is structured as a two-way contract, allowing him to move between the NHL and AHL as needed. In the NHL, he will earn a salary of $775,000, which will count against the team's salary cap. Meanwhile, in the AHL, Bussi is guaranteed a salary of $100,000.
With an impressive .924 save percentage in 32 games played for the AHL affiliate last season, Bussi has showcased his potential as a reliable and talented goaltender. His strong performance has earned him the opportunity to compete at the professional level and further establish himself.
Looking ahead, when Bussi's contract expires, he will become an RFA once again, but this time with arbitration rights. This will provide him with additional leverage during contract negotiations. The Bruins will have the option to extend a qualifying offer worth $814,000, ensuring they retain his services for another season.
