Oddly enough I saw Peter DiLiberatore play in person in both Savannah and Cleveland (while on WBS) last season. He's a hockey player. Likely not an NHLer.
Yeah man, he definitely plays hockey
Dzingel REALLY should have accepted that 5m, 5 year contract…. What a fumble

Dzingel is in that funny position of being too offensively skilled to be a bottom six guy and not offensively skilled enough to be a regular top six guy.

I'm glad after DiLiberatoring for a while they decided to invite Peter.

It doesn’t preclude players from attending NHL camps (or signing NHL contracts)I thought Strand already signed an AHL contract with the Wolves
Yeah, appearently not. I guess I never payed much attention to AHL level guys on PTO's. Strand just caught my attention because he was recently a Duck and because his last name is of Swedish origin.
But this makes me wonder, can NHL teams sign AHL players also when the season is ongoing? And I don't mean NHL teams signing players from their own AHL affiliate, but rather from AHL teams affiliated with other NHL franchises.
I guess teams are too tight up against the 50 contracts limits to bother doing this regardless. But if one day a new Martin St. Louis ends up with the San Diego Gulls, it would kinda suck if another NHL team "stole" him from Anaheim mid-season.

I believe they can. AHL contracts offer no protection of rights for the NHL.
You usually see it more with AHL teams poaching the ECHL though.

Yep, exactly!
AHL deals do not restrict the player from signing an NHL deal, even one without an affiliation (who is not NJD's affiliate).
Just earlier today, in fact, Keith Kinkaid signed with NJD - just a couple of months after Kinkaid signed an AHL contract with the Chicago Wolves.
Typically, a player on AHL contract offered a contract outside of the organization will give the parent club the right to match

It sounds like a lot but it's moreso just looks more impressive to see them all announced at once
Drew, Dzingel, Hebig, Miller, and Vitelli specifically are actually already in the organization, each signed with ARI's AHL affiliate Tucscon for this upcoming season.
If you count those internal invites (if you will), then they are definitely leaning more into the pure outside PTOs more, but overall it's really not too wild.
The Leafs, for example (just because that's the data I have handy), had 12 invites to camp last year with 10 being "internal invites" and 2 being outside PTOs. At our 2019 Camp, we had 23 invites, with 19 of those being internal and 4 outside PTOs. That was a pretty wild camp, but we also had some split squad games like Arizona does this year.
