Almost as good as Larsson...almost.

Not lately, no.

The Leafs right side D is BRUTAL and the addition of Doughty would certainly solidify that D Corps. While last night's game 4 loss resulted in missed opportunities and bad decisions by Left D, the right D on both 2 on 1s that resulted in Bruins goals were played terribly, legitimately mistakes that Bantam D make. All that being said, I feel that the emergence of Johnsson and Kapannen, in addition to the Marlies depth and the quality of their drafting at the wing position afford the Leafs the depth to part with Nylander in their pursuit of Doughty. I feel there would still have to be a package of some sort and don't know what that would look like, but the meat and potatoes of the deal would have to be Nylander, otherwise, if I'm LA, I'm not even listening.

Safe to day he would solidify any D corp

Alzner sucks. Since day one I said Montreal would regret giving this kind of money for a 2nd to 3rd pairing D.

next time say it BEFORE

Man he sucks...

I'll trade you Burns straight up...you get cap certainty and at a lower price going forward and Sharks get a better D Man in the process that fits into their plan going forward

Marner , Reilly and a 2nd

I don't even give up Marner for a 30 year old D man who is going to cost you 9+, maybe 10+ for the next 8 years.

Why would Doughty go to Toronto and be with another 1st round choke team?

Buffalo fan. Really?

Drew is a UFA at seasons end. You might get Nichushkins rights and a first or Seguin + for him. But you've been celebrating 4/20 early if you think you are getting all 3 for doughty at this point. Drew has stated he's not taking a discount this time around. He expects to be paid as top tier dman either on an LA team that has either missed or scraped into the playoffs the past few years, or on a team he expects to compete soon. Doughty has all but said he's not signing a 8 year close to top deal and doesn't expect Karlsson to either. They plan to hit the FA market next year and change the how dman are paid for the future.

Seguin is also a UFA at season's end, and he's not the best in the world at his position.

Drew has never said that he's going to test free agency or look to sign elsewhere...in fact, he just said all of this today.

Some Drew... (more coming...) “It’s not that they have to show me or prove to me anything for me to sign here. I’ve always wanted to be an LA King and stay an LA King.”

Doughty (1/2): Rob Blake & Luc Robitaille, they took this job because they want to win. They want to transform this team into its winning ways again. Whether or not they do a lot in the offseason, I don’t know, but...we have these young guys coming up that I think...

— Jon Rosen (@lakingsinsider) April 20, 2018

DD (2/2) ...are going to make a difference, and that shows me how much potential we have in the future, and I’m good with it and I’m happy to hopefully re-sign here.”

call the rangers if they aint gettin Karllson they gotta get next best thing Doughty

hey ek..... any thoughts on the lack of overtime in this years first round.

Lmao...teams on the rise and you name Detroit, Montreal and Ottawa...your credibility was already super low...that statement just sank it.
