Doughty signed a 56M contract as a 21 year old that made him the second highest paid defenseman at the time. Most of the years were RFA, an extremely important distinction, and he had only 2 good years in the NHL.
Weber signed a $110,000,000 dollar contract that will see him average over 10M a year for the first 9 years of the contract.
Neither are comparable contracts in the slightest.
