Sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone.
When it comes to free agency every year, there are tough decisions for every general manager in the NHL. That was the case last spring as July 1 rolled around for Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney. He had plenty of decisions to make on his own pending free agents. One of them was with his young backup goaltenders.
Sweeney had a decision to make between Brandon Bussi and Michael DiPietro. They both were not going to be retained, and Sweeney decided to let Bussi walk in free agency.
