Prospect Info: Sabres sign Brandon Biro (C/LW,Penn State) - Recalled 11/29/23

[Tsujimoto]

I understand this isn't really a serious question, but at this point in time all ELCs signed start next season. Until there's some clarity as to what will happen with the remaining season, no ELCs can be signed that start during the current suspended season.

It was a semi-serious question that I was actually curious about, so thanks for the serious answer.

he just wanted to get a Brandon...maybe the Beane first name will rub off on him

Signing the captain from PSU, who doesn’t seem particularly notable insofar as his abilities in hockey, just reeks of Pegula having his hand in matters.

Eh, maybe, maybe not. They have a number of solid UDFA types and Biro falls into that tier of useful, smart forwards that are usually good depth at the AHL level at least.

I'm curious what Bakes mentioned about possible other AJHL UDFA types. At least that is something to browse while waiting around...

He's been a PPG for the last two season and is currently 22. This is the sort of player that teams pick up 0-2 of every year.

Yeah to be fair normally I’d be supportive of a move like this for the sake of depth. I’m not really against it. I’m just co-opting it to fit my narrative. I want reality to be that Pegula has undue influence on the franchise because otherwise our front office has done every stupid thing they’ve done of their own volition.

Those things can be true simultaneously. Pegula might have been in favor or even advocated for this particular FA in a sea of fairly difficult to project, yet similar, throws of the dice.

And in all fairness Eric Cornel has nearly as many points as Brandon Biro in 3 times as many games this season.

Another, also against the Gophers. Note the hustle and pass from Sucese to set this one up...

I think it is about time that Biro got a thread of his own.

 

[Chainshot]

Right now, it's the pace of play that really stands out for him. He keeps up with Peterka and Weissbach just fine.

He's so under the radar, but if his speed can keep him in the play, then there's certainly room for him to carve a niche for himself.

Him and Jobst both are small but both are dynamite skaters. Biro's really stepped up and grown with the opportunity presented by all the injuries in Rochester.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

I thought he looked good at the Bubble Division training camp, and had him as a dark horse to make the team.

His size is a bit of a concern I think. He's not short but being 165lbs at 5'11" means he has a pretty lanky frame right now (I was the exact same size at his age). Generally guys at his weight that make it in the NHL are extremely skilled with good hockey IQ's. He seems to have both but probably not at the level of the other players his size (Gaudreau, DeBrincat, Spurgeon) who are similar in weight but shorter so they have stockier frames.

Get him on a weight training program in the off-season, add a few pounds of muscle to him and I could see him pushing for a spot along side guys like R2 and Asplund.

Is it "BYE-ro" or "BEER-o"?

 

[member 334057]

Is it "BYE-ro" or "BEER-o"?

In interviews i saw they pronounce it BYE-ro. Though Beer would offer so many more options for nicknames.

Yeah, I think BYE-ro is the closest.

The last game roster lists the pronunciation as "BIGH-roh".

 

[Chainshot]

I always think "Business Information Risk Officer" because it's pronounced the same way - BUY-row.

 

[SundherDome]

GET THIS MAN HIS GAMES!

 

[Buffaloed]

He has Brian Flynn tendencies

 

[Saggy]

Is t he already 23 or 24 ?
