Austin.?I just feel its a pity that it didnt wor

NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario -- Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner were born about five months apart in 1997.And its entirely possible both teenage prospects will be suiting up for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the NHL next season.The Maple Leafs may be turning 100 years old next year, but the centennial edition of the team is likely to be brimming with youth and inexperience.Toronto could have as many as seven rookies on the roster in the fall, the first real signs the seeds planted in the Brendan Shanahan era are starting to blossom.I think well be really exciting, Leafs coach Mike Babcock said last month.For now, Matthews and Marner have to be content with top billing at the Leafs weeklong development camp in Niagara Falls.Toronto is getting its first up-close look at Matthews, the Arizona-born center who played last season for the top Swiss League team in Zurich.Like each of the 41 prospects invited to the camp, Matthews bounced from rink to rink at Gale Centre Arena on Tuesday morning to work on various skills.On one pad, Matthews and his group worked with Leafs skating coach Barb Underhill. The group looked at times like synchronized swimmers performing carefully choreographed movements, only on skates.Underhill quickly noticed a flaw in Matthews stride: his left shoulder wasnt coming across enough.She definitely paid close attention to it so Ill try and work on it throughout the week, Matthews said.Slight skating hitch aside, expectations will be high for Matthews. Hes a real threat to become the first Leaf to win the Calder Trophy as top rookie in 50 years.Hes likely to be joined in Torontos rookie spotlight by William Nylander, who shined intermittently with 13 points in his first 22 NHL games, and perhaps Marner, who dominated in the Ontario Hockey League again last season, leading all players in postseason scoring en route to the Memorial Cup.The ongoing question for Marner is whether hes physically ready for the NHL.Currently around 163 pounds, Marner is trying to get to 170 for the fall.I just want to make sure that I feel comfortable enough to go out against men and play hard and play my game and make sure I can go out there and do things I like to do, said Marner, the London Knights star and fourth overall pick of the 2015 draft.Its worth wondering how any added weight will affect the speed and shiftiness which helped the Thornhill, Ontario, native become one of the OHLs most productive talents. Marner recalled entering the league at 165 pounds and feeling a touch too slow.He dropped 5 pounds and felt like himself again.If the Leafs decide Marner isnt ready for the NHL, they can return him to the Knights for another season.Toronto will be young and inexperienced regardless of whether Marner makes the lineup or not. Just how young likely depends on how many rising talents are ready to make the leap.Nikita Soshnikov, 22, and 24-year-old Zach Hyman impressed during a brief NHL stint at the end of last season.So too did Connor Brown, a 22-year-old Toronto native who had six points in his first seven games, including a three-point game that preceded his return to the AHLs Toronto Marlies.Also joining the Leafs is 24-year-old former KHL defenseman Nikita Zaitsev.That could mean seven rookies on the roster initially (and perhaps more as the season wears on) as well as a number of others with limited NHL experience, including new No. 1 goaltender Frederik Andersen.How Babcock employs that young talent is worth watching. Will he lean toward veteran Matt Hunwick on the teams defensive top pair or opt to play 22-year-old Morgan Rielly with 24-year-old Martin Marincin, who offered glimpses of potential late last season?Shanahan was hired in April 2014, but the true fruits of his labor are only now beginning to show, just as the team sports a new logo and uniform both driven from his office.The Shanahan-led front office shuffled out stale personnel from old management groups in the previous two seasons while accumulating scores of picks and prospects.Now, however, the process begins turning toward players drafted and developed by the current regime, beginning with Nylander, the first pick of Shanahans tenure.Sensing that incoming infusion of youth, the Leafs sought veterans on the free-agent market. They signed 27-year-old Matt Martin and 30-year-old Roman Polak, who returns to the Leafs after being traded to San Jose last season.Other veteran roles for the Leafs next season will be Leo Komarov, an alternate captain last season, returning center Tyler Bozak and Brooks Laich, easily the oldest Leaf at the ripe age of 33.

Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations. Nico Rosberg says winning the U.S. Grand Prix just wasnt to be after he settled for second position in Austin, a result which means he retains a commanding championship lead over Lewis Hamilton.Rosberg could not beat Hamilton off the line and dropped behind Daniel Ricciardo at the start. The championship leader eventually jumped past Ricciardo in the pit stops to stay second, which helped him limit the damage to just seven points lost on his lead in the title race.That means he still leads by 26 points with three races to play for. Rosberg, who insisted all weekend he was not happy to settle for second, thinks Hamilton just did a better job in Austin.?I just feel its a pity that it didnt work out with the win this weekend, Rosberg said. It would have been awesome in America but it didnt work out, Lewis did a great job this weekend all the way through, qualifying and the race. It just wasnt to be, got a seecond place now and the next race is another great opportunity.dddddddddddd.Rosberg had a similar start off the line to pole-sitter Hamilton but opted against diving down the inside of Turn 1. The German admits his conservative approach contributed to losing second place to Ricciardo through the first sequence of corners.I got away really well, not quite enough to give it a go down the inside, Lewis was just as close, so there was no point trying that. I just went round the outside, it was looking good actually I just struggled for grip out of the corner and Daniel had extra grip, thats it.Rosbergs points lead still means he can win the title without winning another race. He can take the title with a pair of second place finishes and a third place from the final three rounds.? ' ' '
