Former Bruins prospect thriving with new team after bolting in free agency

When free agency opened on July 1, some Boston Bruins prospects were on the move after general manager Don Sweeney decided not to bring some back. One of those was goalie Brandon Bussi. The former undrafted free agent out of Western Michigan signed with the Florida Panthers.

At the end of training camp, Florida placed him on waivers and he was quickly scooped up by the Carolina Hurricanes. That proved to be a good decision after they had been hit with injuries. That move by the Hurricanes is turning out to be a great move.
