I found this interview with Victor Hedman on NHL.com...

I like his answer on this question.. 
Quote:
NHL.com: No one seems to know what the Islanders are planning to do with the top pick. Pretend I'm Isles GM Garth Snow and tell me why I should take you with the first pick?
Hedman: I've been playing against men for two years now, playing over 20 minutes (per game). I think of myself as an impact player, I can play in all kinds of situations. That's the biggest reason. I bring a winning mentality to the team. I do whatever it takes to win. I really hate to lose. I do whatever it takes -- if that means I have to fight someone, I'll do it. If it's a one-goal game, I want to play. If there's 10 minutes left, I want to play all 10 minutes. Just do whatever it takes to win."
