Brandon Bussi, a 27-year-old goalie for the Carolina Hurricanes, has emerged as a standout this season after starting as their third-string option. Claimed off waivers from the Panthers, Bussi has taken over as the primary starter, boasting a .904 SV% and 2.20 GAA with a remarkable 18-3-1 record. With Frederik Andersen likely leaving and no young challengers in the system, Carolina is reportedly in talks to extend Bussi’s contract, potentially for a multi-year deal. Comparatively, a contract exceeding $2MM annually would be unusual for a goalie of his age and experience level.
