Iginla seems to fit the right mold, but I'm sure others do as well. Draft a guy who seems likely to show up when things get tough, physical and intense.
I know it's a common cliché these days, it's those guys that want or crave the stage and spotlight. They tend to be the ones that go the extra mile and don't crumble under pressure. Jarome was one of those players and it looks like some of that rubbed off on Tij. Players like that just bring extra intensity.
