From Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune:

“This is Vinny’s team; we know that. We are here to help him,” Recchi said. “That will be something we’ll talk to Vincent about, but we know he’s the leader of this team. … He’s been a champion and he knows what it takes to win. I think it just strayed a little bit the past couple of years. But I think once you get that feeling back again, it’s easy to grab again. When you are not winning it’s easy to go the other way.”

Players like Gary Roberts and Mark Recchi were brought in as much for their ability to play on the team’s 3rd/4th line as for their leadership. The truth is, the Bolts don’t lack leadership with Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis having both led the team to a Stanley Cup championship.
