Paul Kariya vs Pavel Bure

[sr edler]

2nd vs 12th for the Hart..... thats all you need to know.

You're doing this thing again where you blanket compare different seasons against each other, not a very solid methodology. 93–94 was unusually strong.

Also, you're putting way too much credence into the PHWA, they voted Adam Graves as the most valuable player on the Rangers that year, but he wasn't even PPG but mostly just a trigger guy on their PP, offensively speaking. Quite a fine overall player, but not as valuable as Leetch or Zubov or Messier. That's like saying Alex Burrows was the MVP on the 2010–11 Canucks.

Bure had more flash but I preferred Kariya’s substance.

Bure
Over a ppg vs exactly ppg for Kariya
And more goals in 280 less games.

Kariya was also comfortably above ppg at the age Bure retired, but he played until 35 rather than 31.
