Yeah, that might be fair. Stuff like this is why I try as hard as possible to avoid direct player-to-player comparisons. They're always wrong in some way and people will nitpick them to death. Honestly can't recall what Bure was like in the corners, probably because for him it never mattered.
Probably biased too, Pavel Bure might be my favourite non-Flames player ever. A true take-you-out-of-your-seat with excitement hockey star. One of if not the best goal scorers of any generation. Guy once scored 59 goals for the Panthers while the next highest player had 14.. a 45 goal gap. Insanity.
Just didn't have the knees to sustain.
