NHL Shockwave: Are the Los Angeles Kings Preparing to Axe Drew Doughty Like Jonathan Quick?
This is a situation that just screams Jonathan Quick 2.0. You have a player who’s probably not coming back to Los Angeles beyond this year, but he wants to continue to play and plans on playing for at least three or four more years, and there’s money in the marketplace that will pay him.
Drew Doughty is still a very serviceable defenseman. You can argue he’s not a top pair guy anymore, but put him on a second pair or a third pair, limit his minutes, the hockey IQ is off the charts, it has been since he was a teenager He’s a hockey savant, while he might not know a lot about a lot of other things, he knows everything about hockey, and he’s the type of guy that teams like to have, both in their locker room, i.e. Team Canada, recently and out there on the ice in big moments.
