Strengths: Bure had many of the same electrifying traits as his older brother, Pavel. “The Pocket Rocket” was as good at creating plays as he was at scoring timely goals. He had one of the NHL’s most dangerous slapshots.

Weaknesses: Bure played best as a supporting player on talented teams, but he was not always dependent when entrusted with being the primary offensive threat of a team. Valeri also was also prone to injuries from NHL’s physical game and retired very early.
