MICHAEL CHAPUT - Center - 26 - Drafted 2010 89th Overall
LAST UPDATED 12/10/18
Chaput was signed mainly to be a producer for AHL Laval as well as a depth plug in case of injuries in Montreal. In that limited role, Chaput has performed adequately. At 26, he's no longer a prospect, and he's most likely this same AAAA tweener guy for the rest of his career, but he's good at what he does. He's speedy, and he plays with a jolt, energizing his linemates and the pace of play. He has the size you want for a fourth liner, but his defensive play isn't strong enough for him to be trusted on the penalty kill. But that's Ok, because Chaput is what he is: a top-6 AHL producer or a 4th line NHL energy plug.
