The Kings traded veteran defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky in part to make room for the offensive skills that Doughty can bring to Los Angeles immediately ... and the young defenseman was ready for all of the attention he received by the strength and conditioning coaches teams brought with them to the NHL Combine in Toronto in late May.
"I began two-a-day workouts to prepare for the combine the day after my season was over in Guelph," Doughty said. "I do weights in the morning with my personal trainer, followed by a cardio session, then another cardio session after dinner. I heard the whispers from scouts who thought my body-type was a little chunky, so I decided to lose some weight and improve on my body fat to show myself and the NHL teams how committed I am to be playing at the next level next season."
