I found this posted on a Washington Capitals message board:

The Capitals usually do not identify the Free Agent Invites in their press releases about camp...these have been identified via articles, blogs and twitter (all subject to change):

Hershey Bears AHL Contract Prospects expected to attend: David de Kastrozza (source: Leone)
