There were a lot of decisions that faced the Boston Bruins and their general manager back in June before free agency opened. One of them was in goal, and who was going to battle Joonas Korpisalo to be Jeremy Swayman's backup in 2025-26?
Before free agency began, Kevin Weekes of ESPN reported that if Michael DiPietro hit free agency, there were teams that would have interest in signing him. Sweeney ended up signing him, which made the decision clear as to what was going to happen with their other young goalie, Brandon Bussi.
When the Bruins let him walk, he signed with the Florida Panthers in free agency.
