3. Pavel Bure

Let me preface this by saying I know lots will get angry about this selection. I get it; Bure was never a “true Ranger,” as he only played for a portion of two seasons. With that said, I looked at a player’s full body of work when creating this list.

When considering Pavel Bure’s career, there aren’t many who would deny that he was an electrifying player. A two-time Rocket Richard trophy winner, he’s one of the best skaters to ever play the game.

Most Rangers fans know Bure as the guy who Mike Richter stuffed on a penalty shot in the 1994 playoffs. It’s easy to remember that heroic save and forget the fact that in the same season he netted 60 regular season goals, just one of five times that he eclipsed the 50 goal mark.
