I would have to believe AM and MM get 20+ against the B's... if not more.

If there is a dip, it's most likely the filth that he has to play with more than anything else.

Leafs gotta make a big move eventually on D and he's the cure.

I think Glendening and Dekeyser at the deadline fit the bill instead.

I’d like to see the deeper numbers on Doughty over the last three years.
- RafiDRW


relative CF % last season: -1.3
this season (so far): -13.7

Relative FF % is even worse, somehow.

Last year, -2
this season -16.3

Those are outrageous numbers for a guy who is on the ice for well over a 3rd of each game.

To be fair, short sample, but that’s just egregious.

Yeah it's gonna swing a lot, obviously, but that's completely insane, especially when he's averaging almost 24 minutes per night.

There is no way he is not regressing in his abilities as he ages. I don’t watch a lot of the Kings but he’s just not good over the last couple years when I’ve seen him.

J.Staal pushed him around all night the other day. He was a complete non factor.

Good thing he and Kopitar cost $21 million dollars, or about as much as six Ryan Dzingels.

The cost of two cups in three years. Lombardi (frank)ed that team over something fierce.

Should be a simple solution; play Matthews more.

Babcock keeps it at 19/19 between Matthews and Tavares to keep things fair and fresh between the two but if one of them is hurt, the other should play 22/23.

Everybody wins.

He's 29 with heavy mileage on him. He can't earn his pay now, imagine what it will look like at age 33 to 35. A reeally bad contract paying him for what he used to do. Not at all a fit for the Leafs

Drew Doughty is not very good, dude.

And he costs even more than Marner does.

- BINGO!


Yeah, he is very good, dude..

And I don't care about some bullpoop stat after 7 games, playing on a trash team. Drew Doughty is legit one of the best RHD in the NHL and he'd make any team better.

What Doughty is going through right now is plain and simple disinterest. He knows what a Cup winning team feels like and he knows he's not on one. Why do you think this rivalry with Tkachuk has started all of a sudden? It's pure frustration and distraction. He went from being on a Cup winning contender to a lottery team.

Quite simple change of scenery will return him to his previous glory. Stud D like Doughty don't just lose all their talent overnight. He's got a lot of gas left in the tank.

Exactly. Doughty is not what people need him to be in Toronto. Would be a bad fit overall.

LA will be a sh!t team for some time IMO. When you talk about Return on Investment, hard to imagine worse that those two at this point. Again both are paid for what they used to do - ditto with Brown

Complete opposite. He'd be a great fit and he's exactly what they need.
