I've also been disappointed with Doughty, but I think everyone should also remember that he's only 24 years old. Maybe he is playing a more defensive role for LA right now, but kids also have their ups and downs.
Most D-men don't even get to begin their NHL career until they're Doughty's current age -- he's already been a Norris finalist, the best defenseman on an Olympic Gold medal winning Team Canada, and an absolute beast (including from a fantasy perspective) throughout a successful run to winning the Stanley Cup. I'd not want to sell his potential right now based on the impression that he's permanently settled in as a 35 point D-man.
