The point still stands. Like I said before to bring up the amount of Art Ross trophies Bure had vs Kuch had is disingenuous because of the level of competition especially when Bure had to fight for that trophy against the likes of Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemiux and Jaromir Jagr. I don't have a horse in this race as both players are great, I just don't think comparing trophies in different eras does any justice to either player.
It's equally as disingenuous to pretend that Bure wasn't winning hardware due to Gretzky and Lemieux. There's no Art Ross race in his career that would be altered by removing those two players and their teammates from existence. This isn't a case of Yzerman dropping 155 points, the highest total ever by a player not named Gretzky and Lemieux, and finishing third in scoring.
Keep your argument to removing Jagr.
Ok, so let's pretend that he wins an Art Ross in a year with no Jagr, Forsberg missing 33 games, Lindros missing 27 games, and Sakic missing 22 games. Mark Recchi was 3rd in scoring.
Kucherov won an Art Ross scoring the most points since the 1995-1996 season and finished 12 points clear of McDavid who only played 4 fewer games. In fact, almost all the top talents played the whole season. Kane, Drai, Marchand, Crosby, MacKinnon, Stamkos; right down the list everyone played nearly every game.
Bure couldn't get it done even in a year where he played 11 more games than Jagr and 15-25 games more than some of the top talents of the day.
Bure was the more obvious, flashy, you have to blind to not see him on the ice player. He scored 60 in two high scoring seasons and just about 60 in two low scoring seasons (side note: serves as evidence that adjusted goals and points are problematic at best). He was great and I remember the excitement of watching him and the rate that he scored goals on that Florida team.
I don't know if that excitement trumps Kucherov's all around greatness, his mind, and actual tangible accomplishments.
Kucherov is highly disrespected around here, simply because he plays on a talented team. It's not argument you hear used against any legend, any Hall of Famer, any future Hall of Famer, but he's the one who gets dogged on for whatever reason.
