As bad as Karlsson and Doughty are defensively, they're still better overall than Määtä.

Kempe has been a better RW than Rakell, Labanc, and Arvidsson.



What are you looking at for defensive numbers? I'm pretty sure Doughty and Mikey Anderson have been one of the best defensive pairs for two seasons in a row now? I'm honestly curious. Agree that Maatta belongs nowhere on this list.

I'm interested which defensive numbers you're looking at when saying that as well. Obviously, analytics make Dougthy look atrocious defensively (and in general tbh), but they should always be used in the right context and I don't think he's as bad in his own zone as for example Jfresh's cards suggest. But he has looked bad-ish defensively whenever I watched a Kings game. Not close to as bad as Keith or Barrie but not really good either. But maybe that's just me.
