Marchand became Marchand in part because he showed up on a team that had good leadership already. Bergeron and Chara. Marchand on a shitty team is Sean Avery but with more skill. That's what scares me about my own suggestion. I don't see Othmann as a great gatekeeper. See this year. He has nothing to prove in juniors and his game slacks a bunch. Meaning, his discipline, his focus, his ability to lead others, that's not nec his thing. He's a catalyst. But a catalyst on an undisciplined, unled team is just a sh*t-disturber who could be very undisciplined and almost seem like a problem. A Marchand needs to be on a team with a strong, solid leader of men.
