I actually prefer Doughty to Kane strait up - the addition of the other two really swing the deal in your favour IMO .

I might be a bit biased, as I own him in more than one league, but I see Doughty as a guy who is going to take his impressive Stanley cup run as the beginning of a great career that faced a hiccup with his holdout - pure stardom is in his future, especially with the added firepower LA has - they are a very good young team that will only get better!

Kane has skills, but I wonder about his head, decision making and passion for the game - he will not last in the league as long as Doughty for that reason - just check out the Chicago headlines and videos on the net - take this deal and fly!

Not sure what the others see that I don't but this is an offer I would jump on before the other guy reads the same stuff in the Chi-town media and changes his mind.

Adding Tarasenko and Elliot is icing on the cake.

I agree that Kane does not have a good head on his shoulders and the his point production decreases last season too

BUT

Kane was move around to center last season and was not nearly as productive. Doughty didn't seem toput up the same numbers with Johnson there and now has Voynov pushing for PP time. Yes he is a top D man but I think that Kane is a PPG player and those are hard to come by...especially on RW. Remember that there are only really about 20 PPG players in the league (as much as we would like to think there are more).

Elliot --> Unproven
Tarasenko --> Unproven

Let the other owner pick those ""unproven" players back up with his 7 first round picks while you keep the almost "sure" things
