Keith is done now so it depends on if DD signs with an up and coming contender or not. Although I think DD is better, he's behind Keith in achievements currently.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Went with DD but it's really just because I like him better. This is pretty much a coin flip.

 

[East Coast Icestyle]

Think Keith is a first ballot Hall of Famer, don't think DD is there yet, but will probably end up kinda even ish.

Overall career will probably be Doughty just because he’ll have a longer peak, Keith was a late bloomer. But in their primes? It’s pretty much dead even, you really couldn’t go wrong with either of them.

Kinda depends on Doughty's level of play here on out as well as his longevity imo. If he can play at a high level until his late 30s, he will likely have the superior career. Keith has certainly racked up the accolades so even then it's not a sure thing, but if Drew has an NHL career from 18-38 and stays remotely close to this level, it would be tough to pick DK even if they're close in raw talent/ability.

It's sort of a pseudo Lidstrom-Bourque thing for me--both obviously alltimers, phenomenal d-men, but Bourque's longevity matters.

 

[Halla]

Doughty is a little over 100pts back...and he is 6 years younger.
Id be willing to bet he ends up with at least 150+pts more than Keith at the end of it

 

[COHawk]

Hawks fan saying Keith now, but likely Doughty by the end.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Id like to see who'd win a prime Keith vs Subban poll

 

[Regal]

Id like to see who'd win a prime Keith vs Subban poll

Keith would blow him out

 

[tony d]

Went with Doughty.

 

[ColbyChaos]

Id like to see who'd win a prime Keith vs Subban poll

it would be an easy poll for Keith

 

[JaegerDice]

Doughty will probably have the better career, since Keith was a late bloomer and is on the decline, while Doughty still looks to have plenty of gas in the tank.

At their peaks (to date), it's basically a coin-flip but I'd probably give Keith the edge by the slimmest of margins just cause the 2015 Conn Smythe cup run was one of the most insane performances I've seen.

 

[Super Mario 66]

Keith. By far

Their NHL and International career’s in comparison, besides juniors cause i don’t really value that so much, even tho i do understand it also is part of their career.

Duncan Keith:
3x Stanley Cups
2x Norris
1x Conn Smythe
2x NHL First All-Star team
1x NHL Second All-Star team
2x OG gold

Drew Doughty:
2x Stanley Cup
1x Norris
2x NHL First All-Star team
2x NHL Second All-Star Team
2x OG Gold
1x World Cup

I think advantage in the NHL goes to Keith and it’s kinda not close either, i don’t see Doughty winning another Norris, Conn Smythe or Cup, and the fact their NHL PPG’s are 0,55 and 0,54, and Doughty is on the decline as of now too, so he could end up with worse PPG when it’s all said and done.

 

[joe dirte]

Great question. They both soent years as the best dman in the league.

Right now keith.

Long term if doughty regains his elitebplay, doughty. If he continues his decline it will stay keith.

Sure their points are close. And DK was good defensively. But Doughty was the best dman in the league defensively.

Both great players but Keith
