Mike Babcock on Auston Matthews at camp: “He’s skating at another level”

On the three days of camp in Niagara Falls

Babcock: It’s three days of camp. We obviously tried to accomplish something, not only in getting to know a lot of players but in trying to get a foundation built, obviously, and establish some work ethic. It’s early in camp and we have a long way to go, but a lot of these kids will be going home and then we’ll get down to two teams for the first four games. We’ll give as many guys as many opportunities as we can and then we’ll shorten up so we can see the people that are really trying out.
