LA has been a playoff team the last 3 years but I bet in the lean years after their cup winss everyone was screaming at Blake to trade Doughty. He didn't and even though he's been injured so far this year, in 2023/24 he's was their #1 defenseman who led his team in D scoring & total ice time at >25:00/game. It's not a crazy assumption that he would've put up similar stats this year if he wasn't injured. Raz loves it here and is willing to sign long term. Defensemen of his caliber are rare & he won't be Doughty's age for another 7 years. PAY THE MAN!
