Vancouver Canucks should pursue Drew Doughty in 2019

Though the Vancouver Canucks have employed a number of quality defencemen throughout their history, none of them have ever been a Norris Trophy candidate nor a candidate to reach the Hockey Hall of Fame one day.

Their best defenceman of all-time is probably Mattias Ohlund, who was always a solid top-pairing guy but never quite a superstar. The Canucks are hoping that 2016 first rounder Olli Juolevi will morph into that franchise blueliner, but perhaps they could find a sure-fire superstar defenceman in 2019.

That man would be Los Angeles Kings standout Drew Doughty.
