He probably spent about as much time covering for forwards like Iginla as Kiprusoff spent saving Warrener's bacon.
And speaking of highly of Bure isn't a big deal because, well, Bure. He was a generational talent that did things most NHL superstars can't match. No doubt you would have a lot of respect and admiration for a player like that especially if you had the fortune of playing with that person for any stretch of time.
So on the whole, I wouldn't read a whole lot into Warrener's comments about Hasek/Bure/Kipper without a mention of Iginla.

Well that is contradictory then. Bure was the worst defensive player ever. He literally would let his team be 5-4 in the D-zone to hope for a chance at a break away. Warrener didn't sound like he liked him that much either
