But what I mean is, is there a link or something that has a coach poll, or is it just Hf users making assumptions?

I honestly see this just as the coaches (and likely hockey writers when award season rolls around) giving Doughty a career achievement nod. As long as Karlsson gets in the playoffs, the BS career achievement/he should have won one by now argument is the only way Doughty gets a Norris over Karlsson this season.

Must be nice being Keith or Doughty.
Can just play your game and not worry about carrying your team both offensively and defensively.

He makes a great point, by the time Melnyk is ready to spend (if he wins the Lebreton bid), Karlsson might be long gone.

That guy has a bit of a dubious past, doesn't he? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Dunno, he was the citizen sports editor, but he left before it all went **** up. He definitely doesn't suck up to the sens that's for sure.

If they do nothing and Karlsson leaves over inability to spend what probably amounts to another 4 million over current budget for another high end player or two (assuming dead weight is all cleared out)...
I will be done with this team.
He's the first bonafide superstar HHOF lock this franchise has ever had.
Alfie should be a Hall of Famer in my opinion, but Karlsson will likely be on another tier when he's done his career.

I do laugh at some comments its like saying we have the money so we should spend it.

I wish we could see the Senators books, because we allegedly got $49M from Sportsnet and TSN last year.

It's important to remember stuff like this.
Because he was singing the same tune, "now we can spend more money!".
The casino was the same thing , "if I get it, we can spend to the cap!".

Sens books don't matter - Melnyks books do. Even if we're making money, that likely just means Melnyk is losing less money than he would otherwise.
Funny how he is so adamant ,about keeping something he loses so much money on. According to him

It's actually pretty obvious why Karlsson is second to Doughty by coaches' poll.
LA had second highest votes to make finals out of West with 11 votes. Coaches like results. Doughty is a great d-man on a contender.
Who remembers when Keith won his 2nd Norris, yes he had a good season but the guy was facing 3rd toughest competition on his team and plethora of his points were secondary assists. There were more deserving candidates yet he won in a landslide.
Voters think kind of similar way. When Karlsson is on a contender, this guy will sweep every major award by uncontested margins.

I honestly think there should be two awards for defencemen, one for the best offensive defencemen which Karlsson would probably own for a while & a second award for best overall or maybe even best defensive defenceman to give some credence to good defensive play & the ability to reduce goals against.
Unlike the majority here I don't think Karlsson is the best overall defenceman but obviously the best offensive defenceman even though he is, yr after yr, getting slightly better defensively. I do think Doughty is better overall & Burns as well.
