I don’t know that I’d call Jarvis a leader today but I do think he has all the qualities to become one down the road

The first, and maybe hardest, job of a leader is to be the example that everyone else follows. Seems like that comes to Jarvy naturally.
Hmmm, that is surely part of being a good leader. I would argue that on a team, the hardest part of being a good leader is saying the things that are hard for some to hear. Does Jarvy have what it takes to tell the guys not pulling their weight to step it up when it needs to be said? I don't know. Sometimes those jovial and funny guys are not capable of that.

Gurarantee that Jarvis is a Leader, 22 Years as Leader in the Military I can spot one in a minute. Jarvis is a "Follow my lead" type leader, He puts out the effort and says follow me or get the hell out of my way. Just like Rod did when he was Captain. That is why Jarvis would be good with KK and Necas, Those two need a player that demands they keep up with him.
Jarvis and Aho worked well together because they have the same mentality, Tevo worked well because he followed their lead. Jarvis Works well with Staal and Martinook because they hustle with him, and he doesn't have to demand anything from them. So it's time to give Seth a shot at motivating those two and see if he can bring their game out and make that a successful line. Something needs to be done to get it going, and we have seen, Bunting or Noesen are not the answer.

I think Jarvis is coming into his own as a player and that should be his focus imo. You can be a leader without a letter or anything official, I’d say let him grow into whatever he’s becoming as a player and as a person. If we were talking about that sort of thing, which I’m not sure we were.

At this point we're probably getting an EBAY FOR PARTS OR REPAIR special.

Many kinds of leaders, to be sure -- but it seems to me like Jarvy isn't just clown funny, he's smart funny. Like a Justin Williams type. Doesn't take himself too seriously, but takes the work extremely seriously. That's my take at this point.

And yet...
Hopefully it's just a rest day, but it's worth mentioning after he sat out a large chunk of the 3rd

The video is very good. Seth is a very funny guy for sure.

It's like one of those comedy films where the guy is dead set on his upcoming vacation trip, but some work-related crap hovers over it anxious to ruin his vacation.
It could be the League doesn't agree with an insolent upstart visibly disregarding their All-Star Event participating to which is a huge honor and every player's dream...
And hilarity ensues.

I agree with you on the "Doesn't take himself too seriously, but takes the work extremely seriously" part, but I kind of get the opposite vibe when comparing him to Justin Williams. I get the feel that Jarvy isn't exceptionally smart but he recognizes that and has a great attitude about it. I have a hunch that exceptional intelligence may more often be detrimental to an elite athlete than beneficial.

Why? The team is winning and the line with Jarvis is doing great? Your reason makes no sense. KK doesn't have speed and Necas is injured. Seems like you are asking for a change just to make a change.

I think the addition of Jarvis on the Staal/Marty line is a brilliant move. That line had everything but the ability to finish, and to a degree playmaking. Jarvis addresses both. KK line could use a change. Not sure what that is, but Drury seems to be effective with KK on the PP. Not sure how that could translate 5v5 being they're both centers.

I think the KK line might just have to suck it up for a while. It's obvious that those three (KK - Bunting - Necas) don't really mesh well together, but unfortunately, the other three lines work SO well together that it'd be insanity to break them up. So you're left with 3 very good lines and 1 poor chemistry line due to circumstances.
KK line is effectively the 4th line productivity wise lately. But that’s ok if the other 3 produce.
