3 Buffalo Sabres whose stocks are soaring in the preseason
By Sion Fawkes
2 – Brandon Biro, W
So far, Brandon Biro has three points and two assists, but his productivity has shown up in more ways than just scoring. Biro doesn’t have the same draft status as other high-end prospects like Jiri Kulich, Isak Rosen, and Zach Benson, but if there was a front-runner to make the big club at the moment, Biro could be the guy – unless, of course, the Sabres feel comfortable to roll with Benson.
He’s had a pair of solid seasons in Rochester, and last year could have been elite had it not been for injuries. Biro has driven the puck well in both preseason games, and he’s found a way to create space in the process.
Defensively, Biro has also stepped up, breaking up a few plays last night along with putting sound pressure onto opponents and forcing them to redirect plays. Overall, he’s once again enjoying a solid preseason, and if he builds on his first pair of performances, don’t be surprised if Biro ends up in Buffalo.
