Speculation is fun

Some of Bure's strongest seasons were right in the middle of the clutch and grab era. I think in today's game Bure can probably be at Stamkos' level. He is not head and shoulders above the elite snipers of today's game IMO, but back in his day totally. Ovi in his prime was a similar type of player, except Ovi is definitely more physical. Bure was no sissy, he could stand up for himself just fine, but he was never a player you would expect to lay you out at any time.
Goalies technically are much better nowadays, which is so amazing that Brodeur has been able to stay at the level he has been in for so long playing his extinct stand-up style. The game has gotten faster all around, everyone is much bigger, and the technology has also changed to help all players.
