For Bure, it depends on the progression of his back/hip injuries and if that would have happened if he was in Calgary. 03-04 was the last season of his career due to the injuries.
I always wondered what if Steve Reinprecht was healthy and more the 20-goal scorer that he had shown the season before in Colorado (In the Avs' 01-02 run, he had 12 points in 21 games).
But at the end of the day, what made that team special was the mix that it had. Not sure anything added or subtracted from it gets the result we all hoped for.
