This was posted over on the Caps message board. I would doubt it very much, as his knees were beyond repair last I heard, but stranger things have happened.

It's not my rumour, I am merely posting for those who may have something more solid, that can confirm, so please don't shoot the messenger

Reports out of Moscow, Russia says that 35 year old Pavel Bure has had successful knee surgery and is feeling healthy enough to make a comeback to the NHL. Bure has been working with a conditioning coach for the past 6 months and the timetable for his return could be as early as December.

There are several confirmed reports that a number of NHL clubs have shown interest in the Russian Rocket.

Among the teams vying to allure Bure include the Washington Capitals, Florida Panthers, and the Chicago Blackhawks. Contract negotiations are in the works, and reports are saying that the deal is worth approximately $3.6 million over 2 years. Capitals' superstar Alexander Ovechkin has reportedly said that it would be an honour to play alongside the best Russian to ever hit the ice. Pavel Bure last laced up the skates in the 2002-2003 NHL campaign where he compiled 19 goals and 30 points in 39 games. More to follow.

That originated on hockeyrumors.com so there is absolutely no truth to it.

So is this 100% false? Or only 99% false? Because I'll live off of 1 percent and dream that he could comeback. Or...... you can shatter my dreams. :)
