Jarome seems to be in a completely different role as it relates to leadership with the Pens, and righfully so. They have the best player/leader in the game already. I think Jarome is just lower on the totem pole in Pittsburgh, and he's just fine with that. In Calgary he was right at the top, which meant he had to fulfill a totally different role with the team.
As far as being a quiet guy goes, Joe Sakic seemed like a quiet leader and I've never heard anyone question his leadership abilities.
