As his nickname -- the "Russian Rocket" -- suggests, when Bure takes aim in the offensive zone, the results tend to be devastating. His speed and dekes leave defenses helpless, while his goal and point totals cause record books to be rewritten. With the Vancouver Canucks, Bure racked up 60 points to win the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie in 1991-92. He treated the Canucks -- who drafted him with their sixth choice (113th overall) in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft -- to back-to-back 60-goal seasons the following two years. The Canucks dealt Bure to the Florida Panthers in 1999, and Bure won the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy his first two seasons there, posting goal totals of 58 (1999-00) and 59 (2000-01). Although Bure broke Panther records for hat tricks in a season (four), longest goal streak (five games), longest point streak (13 games) and points in a season (94), the team struggled, and Florida dealt Bure to the Rangers in 2002.
