TORONTO -- Brooks Laich has seen top draft picks blossom in the NHL.With the Washington Capitals, he watched Alex Ovechkin burst onto the scene in 2005. Now with the Toronto Maple Leafs some 11 years later, he has a ringside seat for Auston Matthews debut.The 19-year-old forward, the No. 1 overall pick this summer, turned heads at the World Cup of Hockey on a Team North American line with Edmontons Connor McDavid and Winnipegs Mark Scheifele.It puts a big smile on your face, Laich, a 12-year veteran, said about watching Matthews. I see a lot of little things in his game, habits that you dont generally see in young players.Those include his positioning, the way he competes for the puck and his shot release. From Scottsdale, Arizona, Matthews played last season in Switzerland.Leafs center Nazem Kadri has also seen Matthews play from the Air Canada Centre stands.(Hes) obviously high-level skill, he said. (He) can skate, hes big. So hes only going to get better. Obviously, with that 82-game season, its going to be a little difficult but I think hes going to be more than ready for it.Leafs management already likes what it sees.Theres no question he has a bright future, GM Lou Lamoriello said. Its just exciting to see him play. But I think the most exciting thing is to know hes ours.Laich reminded reporters asking about Matthews that the team comes first.This isnt an individual sport, he said. This isnt a tennis or a golf where everything comes down to one person. Austons a great player from what Ive seen. But theres also going to be 22 other great players in this room.So as a young guy, hes got enough pressure on himself. He puts, Im sure, enough pressure on himself. You dont get to be where he is already without having an internal drive like that. So we dont need to put anything else on him. We want to make him a member of the team, we want to treat him like the other 22 guys.The logo comes first. Im sure Auston will tell you that.The Leafs begin on-ice activities at training camp Friday in Halifax, Nova Scotia.Nike Air Force 1 Just Do It Schweiz .
