When Ottawa leaves the league, the players are all released to free agency and can be assigned to any team. The team has to rebuild its roster by signing new players when it returns to the league, they don't get their pre-hiatus players back.

In the 1967 (and most other) expansions, there's an expansion draft (unless it's turned off) that populates the new teams.
