This train of thought is absolutely ridiculous.
If you want leadership you sign someone like Brad Richards to a 1 year/$3 million contract. You don't take on a $6M cap hit/5 year contract for "leadership".
And Zetterberg marketing a team? Huh? You think fans of a team who didn't give a crap about Zetterberg when he was actually good (because they aren't Wings fans) are going to come to the arena just to see a broken down, slow, 36-39 year old player? At this stage in his career Zetterberg is one of the most painful, boring players in the NHL to watch. The guy can barely skate and isn't good anymore. I'm sure the fans will be coming out in droves to see the slowest player in the NHL skate around the perimeter protecting the puck before he falls down time after time.
You don't know how a casual fans brain operates. Zetterberg gets on the team they already get more money then they lose.
