I think that Bure gets overrated by far, and that is coming for someone that loved him in the early to mid 90s, he was a great player... but he had the Russian attitude (which wasn't helped from having an awful Canucks management at the time) and he turned into a very selfish player, I think it was 1998 when he scored 50 goals and was jumping around the ice, all the while being part of an awful, awful team. It is pretty telling that he played in 4 playoff games after 1995. He played hard when it suited him more than anything else.
