Unrealistic Hypothetical
If you can only keep Doughty (and you lose your next first rd pick), or Voynov (get to keep your first rd pick), what do you take?

This has also got to be some kind of playoffs record (not just for defensemen) in terms of "percentage of goals that are GWG for players scoring more than one goal in a playoffs" --- I mean, c'mon, 80% of his goals are GWG?!?!?

Once Bernier is traded my username shall be VoynovnextCoffey.
Lol has a nice ring to it.
According to Nickson, he also set the all-time Kings record for game-winning goals. Not just for a defenseman, all players.
Love this kid.
Oh, he also has set a record for most-broken-stick points in a playoff season.

Before drafting Drew Doughty and Slava Voynov in 2008, the Kings top two young defensemen were considered to be Jack Johnson and Thomas Hickey.
The Kings are very fortunate to not only have been in a position to draft Doughty, but to get Voynov, who should have been a 1st round pick, drop to them in the 2nd round really did turn out to be one of the biggest steals of the 2008 draft, right alongside Karlsson falling to the Senators.

And then they traded him for playoff rentals. Drafting and developing defensemen was not one of Dave Taylor/Al Murray's strong points.

That'll always be the question. We know our development was complete and total crap.
How bad the drafting really was is the question.
We know that Al Murray was able to draft NHL quality players because a lot of players thrived in other organizations after leaving here.
The question is how many players did the Kings ruin that had potential?

I think Slava will be the Russian #1 D man in Sochi next year. By default if nothing else. I'm dead serious.

There aren't a lot of Russian d-men in the league but the #1 job for Russia belongs to Andrei Markov, barring injury of course...
It's funny, if you flip through the HF pages to the Russia/Sochi page, a lot of the Russians who are familiar with all the Russian D-men think Slava will be the #1D.
As someone else noted on that page, Markov has had knee injuries and lost a step, which will not help on the bigger ice. I've seen ~7-8 Markov games (small sample size), I thought he was OK, but think Voynov is more dynamic.

That's funny. Watch Slava sets the new record with 5...could happen, the playoffs are only 65% over...lots of time to get another GWG.
Then one day someone will be saying so and so has tied the record and is in the company of Voynov, haha.
