ALL ABOARD! Brandon Bussi Makes the Case for Vezina & Contract Extension Conversations

The Carolina Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi has had an otherworldly season in 2025-26 with him being 19-3-1 in 23 starts. That being said, should he be in more Vezina Trophy and contract extension conversations as the season rolls along? On the Tuesday Edition of Locked On Hurricanes, Zach begins the show by sharing his thoughts on why Bussi should be in more Vezina Trophy conversations. Where does the "Bus Driver" compare to other goalies within the NHL, who have started 20 or more games in 2025-26? Is there an argument to be made to at least be named a finalist if his historic start keeps rolling? Secondly, when it comes to a contract extension, what could a deal look like for both sides? Plus, why does it make sense for the Hurricanes to keep Bussi in Raleigh past 2025-26? Finally, Zach concludes the show by going over why Bussi and Pyotr Kochetkov could be the best tandem for the Hurricanes in 2026-27, especially with how the goalie market could look like come July 1. Is there any other goalie that could make things complicated in the net for the Canes next season, who is a UFA or RFA? All of that and more, on the latest edition of Locked On Hurricanes.   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms: 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCarolinaHurricanes?sid=YouTube Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More: 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL   Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
