Come on Adams, just ignore camp and preseason and do what Buffalonil wants.

Isn't it about what you're doing now?

Both Rosen and kulich are leading in goals which buffalo needs.

Greenway-Thompson-Biro

I'm frankly surprised they're putting him on that line.  maybe it's only the #1 line because Thompson is on it, but the reality is the 1st line is centered by Mitts.  My thought of putting Biro in a protected situation with Tuch and Cozens is essentially the same from a physical standpoint with Greenway and Thompson I suppose but I still wonder about putting him on the (a?) top line.  Maybe the thought is they he's scoring in the A and want to see if he can do so with the big boys in the NHL.

And... what @SabresBaltimore said... don't mess with the other lines.

Granato is on record as saying he doesn't consider it a Line 1, Line 2 situation.  He actually said it's up to the other team to decide which is line 1 and which is line 2 and they'll make it known by who they play against the Sabres lines.  And the one getting the easier matchups should be more effective that night (this sentence is paraphrased far more than the prior).

Buffalo needs goals and they also need guys to help prevent goals.  

If they feel Kulich or Rosen is ready then fine, I defer to Adams and DG.   

I think they are going by what they saw in preseason and by Rochester play, and since Biro came back from injury he has 6 points in 5 games so he is not far behind the other two.

Sabres Live today mentioned Biro has 91 points in his last 93 games with the Amerks. Sustained production. Look forward to seeing him in action.

I’d also add that Biro is much more responsible on the D end of things whereas Rosen and Kulich are still learning that aspect of the game to say the least.

He is 25, an undrafted player that played four years of NCAA hockey.  

This really is Biro's shot.  If not with the Sabres, then maybe another team that might be watching.   I understand we have a lot of fancy first rounders and Biro  could be a career AHL player but this kid deserves a look, he might be a 4th line lower cost guy that we will need soon.   He earned it in camp.

Yeah. I don't know why some posters can't mention Biro without bringing up Pegula, like there's some kind of nepotism here. The kid played well and earned his spot.

Oh hell yeah. Just being in the ice in that situation says a lot.

VO had a few of those last year, they counted toward his 28.

[matter2003]

Not a bad debut this season for the kid...

[bob_sauve28]

That he was undrafted makes me happy. They found a gem. Good teams do that
