Why Pavel Bure ranks #86 in Ice Hockey
Pavel Bure ranks 86th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 859th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 70, Honours 74, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 395 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1987–2003 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1993, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes nhl goals 437, 60-goal seasons 2, calder trophy 1, rocket richard trophies 2.
Immediately ahead sits Markus Näslund on 77.9, a gap of -1.6 points. Directly behind is Kendall Coyne Schofield on 77.1. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
