Jari Kurri or Teemu Selanne?

[Plural]

Was Jari Kurri a complementary player because of his nature, or because Wayne Gretzky was also on the team?

I'm inclined to think it was more about Gretzky than his ability. Though a part of my point was also directed to their respective personalities. Selanne was more than easy to handle being the front man and Kurri was always more natural as a bass player.
