I couldn't disagree more amigo.
Doughty is excellent defensively. Bogo is kinda the opposite of that. He is more comparable to Voynov or Muzzin in that regard than Doughty IMO and I might take either of those guys over him.
I would see him as no better than the fourth best D man in LA. Same goes for Stl. He gets lost a lot in the D zone and kinda sucks at shot / chance suppression.
I see him as pretty well a pure offensive D man who is being mis-cast.

THEN WHY DOES EVERYBODY LOVE HIM SO MUCh???!!!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!111!!11!!!!!!!1///???!!!!one
I suspect the contact year thing works out as much as it fails.There's a common school of thought that says a player who just signed a big contract often has a down year. It contrasts with the player in the last year of a contract that tries to overachieve to earn another contract.
I don't know if any stats types {cough - rhymes with carrot - cough} have mythbusted the 'first year letdown' urban legend or not but if it holds water it gives reason for optimism about Zach Bogosian circa 2014-15.

Call me a skeptic, but IMO:
Bogo is ideally a #3 (on a good team) right now and a fairly mediocre one. He is nowhere near a Doughty or Weber and IMO unlikely to ever achieve that kind of height. I mean he is miles behind where they were at his age.
I would love to see it, but I just don't think he has the hockey sense to get anywhere near there.
In the future:
I fully anticipate Trouba will jump him within a year and I wouldn't be surprised if Morrissey did the same they year after. Bogo is a great athlete.
