Rumor Report: Doughty makes surprising comments about the Leafs and free-agency
Keystone Press

Los Angeles Kings star defenceman Drew Doughty has never been the type to hold back. The two-time Stanley Cup champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist is one of the most accomplished blue liners in the game and isn’t afraid to call things as he sees them. Maybe no one should be surprised then that he came right out and explicitly stated that he’s considered playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs once his deal with the Kings is up.

Check out this statement Doughty made in conversation with The Athletic’s Craig Custance:


Wooooooow…. could you imagine Doughty on the Leafs defence? The former Norris Trophy winner is EXACTLY what this team needs to push it over the top. With a dynamic offence up front, a reliable goaltender in net and a top four D that features Doughty… there’s no telling how good the Leafs could be. 

Nothing imminent yet, but with Doughty’s contract expiring at the end of next season, don’t be surprised if you start to hear his name popping up in trade rumours.
