There are exclusions at the edges... but for the most part leadership by players at the pro levels are a wash. Iginla was regarded as a glorious leader when the Flames were good... then a coach killer when the Flames were bad. Yzerman went through the same thing just in reverse.
Fans love to declare good leaders on good teams and bad leaders on bad teams. They are just guys. These are all elite level athletes... have some scream or yell in the dressing room might work for a few shifts to start a game/period... but its not going to change the team's fortunes.
