Funny. He's a lot more comparable than someone of Kessel's level.
Anyway, that Kovalchuk video didn't make me draw comparisons to Bure at all. Bure had a very unique skillset and athletic ability. Nobody in the league right now is comparable, really, which is why I asked the question in the first place. From what I've seen of Yakupov he is also not comparable.
Watch the video again, sometimes it's ignorable at first glance but that speed that Kovalchuk has is unreal there. And he dangles during it too.
Obviously not at Bure level, but Bure-lite, I can see that.
