Sakic was one of the best players in the 90's. Very few players during that era I would take over him. Bure would not be one of them.

Bure is my favourite player of all time but he didn't elevate his teammates like Sakic did.

I'm not voting because I hate voting against Bure....

Bure was more explosive, but Sakic was more complete. Even if you discount Bure's health issues (which I don't), this one is still easily Sakic. Bure had him on skating, but Sakic was a better shooter, better passer, better defensively, a better leader, helped elevate those around him and his entire team, was a better playoff player, and was a tougher player to play against. Sakic was smarter and a better special teams player as well. This one isn't close to me.
