Standard training camp invites, yes. It seems this thread is looking for those players invited to summer prospect camps.
I will also add the rookie camp invites from September into this thread.

Maybe that's why Bryan Lerg wasn't scrimmaging Tuesday or Wednesday -- he was at the Sabres dev camp the week before the Caps. He must've had travel time. Too funny...
I saw your post about that when you noted his absence from a scrimmage; timeline wise, Caps dev camp report day was Tuesday 7/10 and the first day on ice was Wed 7/11.
For a UFA, if you have more than one invite, it makes sense to take advantage and get as much exposure as possible.
Yep, that makes plenty of sense, especially considering I doubt highly that Team Cheap would fork out anything for any of their invitees. It certainly is great exposure and a chance to work with professional coaches and strenght-and-conditioning people. If nothing else, it'll benefit him when he gets back on the ice for MSU.
Agree about the opportunity on and off the ice during these camps. Also, for a player with college eligibility remaining, if they make the right impression, a team may scout them more closely next season.
I know the players retaining NCAA eligibility, whether team property or not, have to pay their own way...travel, hotel, etc.
Any word about Josh Godfrey (Sault Ste. Marie)? Kept hearing he'd get a shot somewhere (I think STL last year), but haven't heard anything so far.
I will keep this list updated as more players are added. If you know of any free agent prospects trying out for your team please add them to the thread. You will see some doubles as players get invited to one teams prospect camp and another teams prospect tourney.

Stich hurt his knee near the end of the season, which scared teams away.
He is very solid positionally, has a cannon, and may be too passionate. (When guys hit him, he looks for the opportunity to make them regret it)
His offensive upside is questionable given the strict system Saint John (his Q team) plays, but defensively, he is a stud.
