Kings "Big 3" are clearly Quick/Kopi/DD; Who is our #4 Guy?

Richards (2011 summer for Simmonds and Schenn)

Carter (2012 trade deadline for Johnson and a 1st)

The power of drafting well and using your assets to their fullest. That's 3 legit top sixers without giving up 1 top six forward. No one can accuse DL of not having balls ever again.

Correct. I don't think the dude knew enough about hockey to even realize that.

The Hockey News Yearbook says Brown is #4. They have the big 3 all in the top 10 (of the top 50 NHLers) and Brown is #28 based upon goals and being among the NHL's tops in hits. If he can have a regular season even moderately approaching the playoff run, then he is #4. The Sedin hit and the SH goals were huge in getting the Kings rolling in round 1.

Doughty had a great Stanley Cup Final series.. that's about it

"I will say that Doughty was consistently the Kings best D in the post season"
Better than Willie Mitchell? o rly?

Yes, by leaps and bounds Drew Doughty was the Kings best skater from the drop of the puck in Vancouver until the Cup was brought out.

It wasn't even remotely close.
