Can Leonard even play this year since he wasn’t on the roster and signed by the freeze? I’m not sure of the rules here.

Yes, he can.
All players on a teams reserve list by the deadline can play for them, as long as they get a contract. This applies both for the regular season and the playoffs.
In addition, undrafted college players can play in the regular season if they sign a contract after their season is over (happens every year), but can not play in playoffs, because they wouldn't have been on the teams reserve list at the deadline.
Signed, lurker

Hockey Godz treated us well last night with PHI + DET both losing in reg (PHI really ffffffd up)

We're on a 12gms in 22 days? stretch so it can't be a surprise to have a game like v TOR last night

The ONLY 2 day break from Mar 7 thru Apr 16 (end of RS) is after Sat v BOS
That's a crazy stretch, 22gms in 41 days, good things so many of the yutes are lessening the impact, gotta wonder how OV, Oshie and JC74 are gonna do the last 10

You’re talking to a fanbase and a franchise that had Dale Hunter as the C.

AND he centered the 4th line for a spell at the end of his career.

So…..yeah?

Yeah.
2. Who is that directed to? I never took issue with having the C playing on the 4th line.
1. No problems with Dale. He was right for the time. Got the C when he was 34, in the latter stages of his career.
Marchand is doing fewer stupid moves now that he has the C. Although it's not a reason to give the C to Willie, maybe he would think twice. He's already allowed himself to become a figment of his prior physical self, taking penalties that are more like Alexandre Semin than Alex Ovechkin.
We don't know what happens in the room, so maybe 43 will be the right guy after Ovie hangs 'em up. From what I see, I have my doubts.

The org is grooming him for it. He will be the next C.

Wasn’t Makar playing in the playoffs out of college? Knies last year as well.

I think you’re wrong on that one.

He is talking about two different things:

* Drafted players where team owns their rights and play in college (so not contract yet) can play IF they sign a contract. Leonard is in that group because they surely put him (and Chesley) on the reserve list.
* Undrafted players (like say Mud) could sign an agreement and play but not in the playoffs.

Yes, they were. Because, as I outlined in the OP, they had already been drafted by their respective teams, so they were on their teams' reserve list by the trade deadline that year.
It's only the UNdrafted college players that sign with a team that can only play in the regular season, and not the playoffs.
Edit: I was WAY late to the party.

Does anybody know if Leonard can play in Hershey for the playoffs since he wasn't on their roster for clear day?
Click to expand...
I think so. Suzdalev was with the club during the playoff run last year. Even though he didn't play, I understood he could have if they wanted.

I think we match up okay against most playoff teams in the East. Its just the Maple Leafs they can't figure out.

I wouldn't be surprised if we beat either the Rangers or the Hurricanes. Not expecting it, but wouldn't be surprised either.

We can beat the Maple Leafs. All the pressure will be on them. Everything has been working against us for them. We can stun them early, seize the momentum, and Chuckie can steal a game or two to push it to 7 where it's anyone's game.
