Yeah it is strange to see him doing so well at this age, and having people say things like Selanne can't hang in his class? Selanne was arguably the 2nd or 3rd most important player on the Ducks when they won the cup in 2007. He was far better internationally, sure Kurri's teams weren't as good as Blades of Glory mentions, but neither were Selanne's playoff teams compared to Kurri's hence why Kurri probably has the edge there. If Selanne didn't have this resurgence in his career post lockout I could see someone saying it's decisively Kurri, but as far as I can see I really don't understand how the majority would still rank Kurri better, or to even think there's a clear edge there.
I think this is very hard to argue.
In my opinion Pronger, Nierdermayer, Giugere, PÃ¥hlsson, Getzlaf and Beauchemin was more important.
