blackpluto96 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The most exciting player ever to have played the game. Don't forget all those short-handed goals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Man! What memories that video brought back. I’m glad he was a Canuck and easily the best player we’ve ever had wear the Canucks jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck_in_england Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Forgive my ignorance but how can someone that good only be selected 113th in the draft?! Was he just poorly scouted or his game came on that much before his first season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 It's scary to think what he could have done if his knees were healthy for a full career. This man was McDavid before McDavid even existed. Minus the playmaking ability. McDavid has some nasty vision out there. He has had some gnarly assists so far this season alone. I am so sad I never really got a chance to watch Bure play. The highlights I have seen blow my mind. I envy all the older folks that got to see this man live. Whether on TV or in the arena. He was a special breed of player, that much is evident even from just highlight reels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That move alone should rank Quinn as the greatest Canuck GM. I rank Bure as the most talented player to ever play for the Canucks but not the greatest. I still rank Linden as the greatest Canuck.

It was highly controversial when Quinn selected him. I also heard Quinn wanted to draft him later but apparently he caught wind Edmonton wanted to do the same. Edit: @Boudrias has got you covered.
