Bussi was placed on waivers Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Assuming he doesn't get claimed by another team, Bussi will begin the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Providence. He was in the running for a roster spot for Opening Night before the Bruins signed Jeremy Swayman on Sunday.

Bruins' Brandon Bussi: Strong game in loss
Rotowire
Bussi made 30 saves on 32 shots in a 2-0 preseason loss to Washington on Saturday.
Bussi played in 41 regular-season games in the AHL with Providence, posting a 23-10-5 record, a .913 save percentage and a 2.67 GAA. The previous season, he delivered a 22-5-4 record, a .924 save percentage and a 2.40 GAA, again with Providence. But Bussi's role as a backup in Boston isn't guaranteed. The Bruins claimed Jiri Patera off waivers on Wednesday, and he arrives with NHL experience under his belt. Just eight games, but that's eight more than Bussi. Bussi played extremely well Saturday, keeping the Capitals to one goal until the three-quarter pole of the third period. Keep an eye on the final roster before adding him in fantasy leagues.

Bruins' Brandon Bussi: Expected to start Saturday
Rotowire
Bussi is set to guard the road goal against Washington in Saturday's preseason contest.
Bussi had a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 41 regular-season appearances with AHL Providence in 2023-24. Although he was originally projected to start the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, Jeremy Swayman remains unsigned as a restricted free agent, opening a spot for Bussi to serve as Boston's No. 2 netminder behind Joonas Korpisalo. Bussi's stay in the NHL will depend on how long Swayman remains without a contract with the Bruins.

Bruins' Brandon Bussi: Agrees to one-year deal
Rotowire
Bussi signed a one-year, two-way contract with Boston on Monday.
Bussi posted a 23-10-5 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 41 regular-season games with AHL Providence in 2023-24. The 25-year-old netminder doesn't have any NHL experience yet. He will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, though that could change if the Bruins make a trade involving a goaltender.
