    The Florida Panthers have added to their goaltending depth.

    The Panthers have announced that they have signed goaltender Brandon Bussi to a one-year, two-way contract for the 2025-26 season. 

    Bussi, 27, spent each of the last four seasons in the Boston Bruins' system, where he played in the AHL. In 33 games this past season with the Providence Bruins, the 6-foot-5 goaltender put together a 15-14-3 record, a .907 save percentage, and a 2.77 goals-against average. Overall, it was another solid year in the AHL for Bussi, and he will look to build off that with the Panthers organization from here. 

    Bussi should have a good chance of being the Charlotte Checkers' starting goalie, as he has been solid throughout his AHL career. He has had a .907 save percentage in each of his four AHL campaigns, which includes a .924 save percentage in 32 games with Providence in 2022-23. 

    Overall, this is a low-risk depth move for the Panthers. At a minimum, Bussi should be an impactful goalie for the Checkers. In 111 career AHL games, Bussi has a 31-12-8 record, a .915 save percentage, and a 2.62 goals-against average.
