Top 10 Defenseman in the game. He had a slow start at the beginning of 2011-2012 because of the hold out, but he was money during the cup run (16 points in 20 games). Last year, Doughty had to play a much different role with the absence of Mitchell and Greene yet he was still almost top 20 in points by a defenseman.

Babcock said the kid is "touched by God".
Doughty's motives and drive have been questioned in the past but I think he's silenced many of his haters at this point.
In my modest opinion he is one of the most natural hockey players of all time.

You say top ten.. in 09-10 he was a Norris finalist. Do you still think he could be a top 5 defenseman? Or has his play dipped off just slightly enough to be in the top ten discussion but not Norris worthy?

He had a couple dips in production with a concussion and then missing training camp the following year as an unsigned RFA. This season, he took on a more defensive role because Greene and Mitchell were out all season.
But he is a phenomenal player who is just going to only get better with maturity.

Top five. Kings fans, name five defensemen you would take over him. Only three come to mind, possibly.
When he's on his game, and the stage is elevated, he plays like the best defensemen in the world. And he's 23. He played like the second best defensemen in the world at the Olympics as a kid.
Drew Doughty is the personifies the word elite.

He still is top 5. He's with Chara, Karlsson, Weber, and Suter. I think they are the top 5 in some order, then Subban, Pietrangelo(who gets overhyped)

I love the smell of ice in the morning.
He had to change roles from an offensive D Man to a defensive D Man and played that role equally well if not better. The man is a chameleon.
Our D was decimated last year and he took it by the horns and carried it by completely changing his game and excelling at it. His value is off the charts.

Yeah. I don't even see a huge different between him and Shattenkirk
KPC-Subban isn't so much. I see ALOT more people saying Pietrangelo is top 5 than Subban

And the excuses always roll out for Pietrangelo...
- It's a team sport...
- The Blues don't have a finisher (heard that a hundred ****ing times)...
- His partner is up to snuff...
- He hasn't fully developed yet...
- Head to head, he would beat Doughty...
- He had a hang nail...
Doughty is better. Period.

I love this post so much. Excuses are always made for him, I don't get the love for him.

Not one defenseman in the league I would trade him for. And I don't have to give it much thought.

Except that his team has gotten his ass whipped head to head against Doughty every time...

Shhhhh....no facts allowed that don't make the Lord Alex Pietrangelo look anything less than perfect
Doughty is the best defenseman in the Nhl. Pietrangelo gets such high remarks for accomplishing nothing.
Doughty is the MVP of the kings.

Regular season and post season. The only way he'll win at the highest level is if Doughty plays with him (Gold). That last part was me being a wise ass.

I would want Drew on the Kings more than any other d man. Even though he didn't score much last season, he did all the little things right and he was making up for the absence of Mitchell and Greene. Great players step up in all areas when they need to. Top 3 in the league, easy.
