Congratulations to London minor hockey grad Drew Doughty on his newly minted $56-million, eight-year contract with the Los Angeles Kings. Pretty sure this makes Doughty the highest paid athlete from the London region, ahead of Jeff Carter of the Columbus Blue Jackets, Joe Thornton of the San Jose Sharks and Brian Campbell of the Florida Panthers.
Personally, I was hoping the contract impasse with the Kings would lead to a swap of Luke Schenn and someone to LA for Doughty.
No such luck.
Here's what hockey writer Damien Cox of the Toronto Star said about the Doughty deal - and the very real possibility the Kings will win the Stanley Cup this season.
