Origin
and identity
Drew Doughty's Los Angeles years combined championship defense with significant offense from the blue line.
The Kings selected Doughty second overall in 2008 and brought him directly into an 81-game rookie season. He followed with 59 points in 2009–10, showing early that his role would extend beyond protecting his own zone. His development coincided with the rise of a championship-caliber Los Angeles team.
Doughty contributed 16 playoff points to the 2012 Stanley Cup victory and 18 to the 2014 title. The Norris Trophy arrived in 2016, recognizing his individual standing. Together, those milestones place him at the center of the Kings' most successful modern period.
