Best at getting hurt.
He's also good at stacking up Cups.
I also like how half of the specialists in here spell Fedorov wrong constantly.

Taking Bure over Malkin is foolish
Taking Bure over Malkin is foolish
Bure didn't have a Crosby, let alone the depth that Pittsburgh has continued to ice.
Malkin is amazing but I personally think Datz is/was better.
My personal top 10:
1. Fetisov
2. Makarov
3. Kharlamov
4. Tretiak
5. Firsov
6. Ovechkin
7. Malkin
8. Fedorov
9. Mikhailov
10. Petrov

Bure is like a lesser OvechkinBure was a one trick pony who you DO NOT build a Cup-winning team around.
He was incredible at his one trick but he'd be best as a complimentary piece to a team.
not even close
I guess that's why he won so many ted Lindsay awards.Nhl players seemed to think so. Many reports during Datz career that he was best player in the nhl period. Let alone best Russian player.
No kidding
Bure, the guy who was only over PPG half of his time in the NHL? (5/10) while Malkin was only under ONCE?! Lets not even get into the trophy case..
EDIT: Was wrong above. 6/12 seasons he was under PPG.
Its a two horse race, between Ovechkin and Malkin. His injuries are a damn shame, no doubt he would have eclipsed most of Ovechkin's point totals season to season, in my opinon. He's either at or very near the top every time he goes down. His trophy case is a bit less impressive than OV' but man, I have a hard time saying OV is the best. He's a PP fiend, his 5 on 5 play is disgusting. Sorry, it is. His goal scoring is impressive, everything else is meh. Malkin is way more of a catalyst.

Why would you? Ovechkin is one dimensional, can't (won't) play defense, & can't get his team out of the 2nd round (even in years when they don't play us. Malkin plays an all-around complete game, is more talented than Ovechkin (I'll give Ovechkin the edge in goal scoring), & far more creative with the puck. Ovechkin plays a bull rush down the boards & cuts across the middle of the slot. Or he just one times on the PP. He's basically the modern day Brent Hull....

on a side note the bure posters are laughable. Posters want to call Ovi a one dimensional player, while Bure DEFINED one dimensional. He was a 100 mphs from center into the O zone. NEVER back checked and could frequently be seen floating at center ice while his team was hemmed in the D zone.

Can't believe Bure is being mentioned. He is not even close to Malkin.
In NHL it's between Malkin, Ovechkin and Fedorov (Peak).
All time it's those three along with Tretiak, Kharlamov, Makarov
Can't believe people have so poor understanding of the game they can't understand why Bure is right up there.

Ovechkin has had Backstrom for his entire career pretty well. Malkin had scraps for most of his, Neal for a season and a half, and bit of Kessel. Not really a good point, imo.
