Yes 6th round mistaken post. He was eligible in the 1st 3 rounds but according to eligibility rules the league was wrong. Canucks did their research the Wings didn’t.

I'd also rank Brett Hull and Pavel Datsyuk above Bure in the all-time best 6th round picks dept.

‘94 game 1 Western Finals is on.

Bure the best 4th round pick ever.

God rest his soul.

Awesome day here....

8km walk with the pooch...
Great round of golf...
Amazing lasagna dinner.

Sad news though...
The Hatfield House, a really good restaurant in Tusket NS (2kms away from my new house), closes. Been there several times, was planning on going there a lot in the future.

I don’t understand my local economy as much as a non-local?

And ur (frank)ing mad, grow up.

Without the knee injuries that may have been a different story.

All great players, Bure was a great skater with a laser beam of a shot. You could add Zetterberg, although he was actually a 7th rounder. Of these players though, I would think that Bure was the most gifted player. Man could he skate. Federov taken in the fourth round was also in the same class as Bure IMO.

Federov Bure Forsberg probably my fave 3 all time after Bobby Orr.

Yup. Can be said about a lot of special players whose careers were cut short (e.g. Lindros, Forsberg, Bossy, Lafontaine, etc).

Lindros! He was a wrecking crew until the concussions.

Lindros was stupid with his head down & you give you take.

Bossy best sniper of all time

Forsberg best all around C imo

Forsberg was a great player. Hard for me to rate him higher than Gretzky or Lemieux. You also need to consider that hockey has changed along with the rules over time, not sure if there's ever been a better right winger than Gordie Howe. In an era where there were no protein shakes and bikes in the dressing rooms, he was a beauty!

The guy was a beast

He was my idol & same name therefore my Original 6 team.

As good as Hull and Datsyuk were, I don't think they were as exciting to watch as Bure was in his prime.

That was a tough series. I remember watching every game that series and being so disappointed at how the series shifted so quickly. Leafs couldn't recover from the tough series against the Sharks in the 2nd rd.

Lindros could do it all, there really was no weakness to his game until injuries took over.

I don't think that's true. Wedgie said that the lasagna was good
