I'd take Hull even if I don't like him. He was always in the open and he could get his shot away and score from any position so that makes him special to me.
which one was more clutch? hull did take bure's place without a center btw, it was mentioned up above. oates was traded for janney, who played with shanahan, not hull. he didnt have a center for years, and still put up 50-60. hull was the clutch scorer, and unstopable on the pp. bure brought you out of your seat, and was more fun to watch. bure definitely benefitted froom his defenseman the way hull did centerman. these guys hitting him with passes out of his zone was his no.1 play. just as crucial to his game as hulls one timer feeds.Alfons said:Bure was the better player no question. If you are considering injuries and his selfishnes, then one might consider Hull. But it depends on whether you have an elite centerman or not. I think if you would switch Bure and Hull, that is let Bure play with Oates, Modano, Zubov etc, and let Hull take Bures place I think this choice would be pretty easy. And by the way saying Bure benefitted from Lumme:

Sure he had more speed hence the highlight reel breakaways, but I dont see why being more exciting which Bure definatly was means that they were a better player. I would take Hull any day of the week and twice on Sunday especially in their primes.John Flyers Fan said:.... Speed ???

I dont think that his wristshot was better at all. Dekes goes back to breakaways.Vladiator said:And dekes, and speed, and wristshot...
