Is there a Kyle Beach/Zach Kassian Comparable in the 2011 Draft?

[Soli]

By the title, I mean a forward that:

- Takes the body for breakfast
- Is big in stature
- Sticks up for teammate and can chuck fists
- Is not just a goon but can play hockey, projecting to at least a 3rd liner in the NHL
- Is a tad psycho
- (optional) is so good at his craft that he's a 1st rounder

Anyone who fits that description or is made from the some mold?

Nitpicking here, but Kassian and Beach aren't comparable in my opinion simply because Beach is a total nutcase with some serious rage issues.

But on topic, Colin Jacobs. A few years back he had a crazy amount of hype and people were talking top 5 pick. Not so much anymore, likely a mid second to early third. He's 6'2, 200 pounds, has 9 points in 12 games for Seattle right now. Isn't afraid to scrap. He steps in for his teammates and he can throw em, he's got a nasty side to him. Skating is meh, but he does the dirty work. Projects to be a middle 6 kinda guy. Absolutely best case scenario (in my opinion), a Lucic type guy who can hit, fight and score 17-20 goals, but I really couldn't see much more than that.
