Pavel Bure or McDavid?

[Skolman]

Pretty dumb thread. Obviously McDavid is several levels better than Bure, and McDavid is even faster.

Needless thread.

This.

They are both excellent players. I wonder what could have been with Bure if not for his knees.

Until Mcdavid leads Oilers to Stanley Cup Finals Im going with Bure.

If McDavid continues as he's going he will go down as a top 5 player of all time.

This thread proves how spectacular McDavid is and how his legacy in the game is somewhat already set in stone


At 21, with 2 Art Rosses under his belt he's already proven to be insanely skilled over some of the NHL greats

Great era we are entering.


Edit** Don Cherry just compared Bure and McDavid

Is that the standard now?

McDavid. I would put Bure in the superstar category with players like Forsberg, Hull, Sakic, etc. I don't think he's quite in the same tier as McDavid is projecting to be (Generational: Lemieux, Gretzky, Crosby, arguably Ovi). Even then I wouldn't quite put him on the same tier as the players between generational and superstars (eg. Malkin, Yagr, Messier).

Bure: Amazing player and a lot of fun to watch. I hope people aren't getting the impression he wasn't a great player. I think we all can see how great he was.

Why would anyone say Bure

 

[shtorm2005]

Well, McDavid seems more productive, but Bure goals would look so much entertaining today.

 

[Deen]

I have a Bure jersey framed on my wall and it is still McDavid.

 

[McRpro]

Bure was insanely entertaining to watch and a goalscoring freak but c'mon, this one is McDavid and it's not even close. If Bure was in the NHL now people would be calling him a goal suck who plays zero defense, which is basically what he was.

 

[Three On Zero]

I would take a Bure without injury issues over a McDavid

Looking at the replies, if this was a poll, the result would be lopsided.

Closed.
