Sujet: Doughty is the missing piece
I don't know why some Leaf fans and other hockey fans, think this missing # 1 Dman is suddenly going to lead the Leafs to the Cup. There really is no logic behind it. Just checking the last ten games the Leafs are scoring just 1.5 goals a game, so the Leafs have holes to their team that one player can't solve. This # 1 Dman is the solution? Doughty missed the playoffs last year, Hedman missed the playoffs, OEL always misses the playoffs, Karlsson three playoff round victories in eight years. So it's kinda fantasy that this # 1 Dman, is the panacea for all problems. And if the Leafs were to trade for Doughty (or others), you can be sure it would weaken other parts of the team.
I don't know Doughty. But LA is his home. He really doesn't want to leave.(I would think) If a team were to pay so much more that Kings, yea maybe he signs with another team in the summer of 2019. But do you really want to be the team that overpays for UFAs? We have seen how well that has worked out throughout the years.
To answer your opening statement " Could you see the Leafs winning the Cup with Doughty on the team?" Yes. Also, No.
Here's a question. " Could you see the Leafs winning the Cup without Doughty on the team?" Yes. Also No.

Uh, buddy? Both contracts are expiring after this season, so they should be fairly easy to offload at the deadline, especially since contracts are pro-rated. Do I think either will fetch that high a return? Maybe? Holden probably won't, but if Nash plays well to the deadline, he could realistically fetch a 1st+ a decent prospect from a contender. He's the 5th leading active goal scorer in the NHL, and has played at least 300 fewer games than everyone above him except for Ovi, and is on pace to exceed 20 goals again this season, despite shooting 3% below career average.
