With age and diminishing offensive stats, should Doughty take on a reduced role, or is he still vital as the Kings' top defenseman and likely next captain? Eddie Garcia reevaluates Doughty’s legacy, his recent performance alongside Brandt Clarke’s rise, and the franchise’s plans for contract extensions as the Kings look to balance sentiment with on-ice results. Key topics include the impact of Doughty’s leadership after Anze Kopitar’s retirement and speculation on the Kings’ next head coach—with names like Jay Woodcroft and Bruce Cassidy in the mix.
