If you'd take Green, Phaneuf or anyone else over Doughty, then you'd be just plain wrong.

Doughty has been a big reason for at least 3 of the goals against and has been very shaky defensively.
He has done some nice things but I certainly agree with Patrick (and it hurts to type that) he has been brutal on the one timers on the PP. Numerous times he has been set up for perfect shots and he can't get them off.
Throw in the terrible spin-o-rama pass to nobody when he had a clear shot on net in OT and I would say he has at best been marginal.
Great upside but still way too many mistakes to be considered anything close to outstanding.
