@ice_chip: GM Jim Rutherford confirms Rick DiPietro has signed a PTO with Charlotte Checkers. Will join team tonight.

@ice_chip: Rutherford: "It's a safety net and could give us more depth. At this point it's a PTO. We'll see what kind of shape he's in, how he plays."

I guess teams really hate Bryz.

DiPietro is the worst goalie ever lol.

Bryz has an ECHL contract I believe?  Not sure how that works out.

Personal Tryout.  I think it's limited to 25 games then a player must sign a standard contract.  Something like that.

Allen York's PTO has ended so DiPietro and Muse are now the only goalies on the Checkers roster.

@ice_chip: On DiPietro, Rutherford said Muse would start for Checkers tonight and DiPietro Saturday against San Antonio. "We'll see where it goes."
