Might have won another goal scoring title. Probably not much else as far as awards go unless you count all-star nods. As far as goal totals, 600, maybe 700, assuming he also has a longer career.

It wouldn't have had to be otherworldly. If we cut out injuries in the career he had, I think you can easily get him to 500. If he remains a 35-40 goal scorer into his mid-30s, that's probably another ~150 goals. So, if he has a decent wind down, he's a 600-650. Good longevity, playing to his late 30s, or maybe to 40 could get him to 700 I think.

I see no way Bure plays until his late 30s or 40s just doesn't seem like the type... maybe give him one or two more years, say he plays 05/06 then retires.

Anyways, Bure without injuries? Probably 600 goals... Do we assume he still goes to the Panthers and then Rangers?

I don't see him doing worse than Selanne.

Hmm idk.

I feel like Bure was more of a physical freak than Selanne. Faster, stronger, better shot...

I'm not sure a mid to late 30s Bure would have aged as gracefully as Selanne, who imo, was more reliant on his smarts.
