Playing career
As a youth, Chaput played in the 2004 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Deux-Rives.[1]
Chaput played four seasons (2008-2012) of junior hockey in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) with the Lewiston Maineiacs and Shawinigan Cataractes, scoring 77 goals and 110 assists for 187 points, while earning 238 penalty minutes, in 216 games played. He was awarded the Stafford Smythe Memorial Trophy as the most valuable player in the 2012 Memorial Cup.[citation needed]
On February 28, 2011, the Philadelphia Flyers traded Chaput to the Columbus Blue Jackets (along with Greg Moore) in exchange for Tom Sestito,[2] and on April 28, 2012, the Blue Jackets signed Chaput to a three-year entry level contract.[3]
At the conclusion of his entry-level contract with the Blue Jackets, Chaput was not tendered a qualifying offer and was released as a free agent. On the opening day of free agency on July 1, 2016, Chaput was signed to a one-year, two-way deal with the Vancouver Canucks.[4] The Canucks assigned Chaput their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets to start the 2016–17 season but recalled him on November 7, 2016.[5] On February 12, 2017, he scored two goals to help the Canucks defeat the Buffalo Sabres by a score of 4–2 for his first career multi-goal game.[6]
On June 24, 2018, as an impending restricted free agent, the Canucks traded Chaput to the Chicago Blackhawks, in exchange for Tanner Kero.[7] On the following day, Chaput was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Blackhawks and was released to explore free agency.[8]
On July 1, 2018, Chaput was signed to a two-year, two-way contract with the Montreal Canadiens.[9] He started the season with their American Hockey League affiliate the Laval Rocket but was called up on November 20, 2018 after having notched 10 points in 18 AHL games.[10]
Personal life
His older brother, Stefan Chaput, currently plays for HDD Olimpija Ljubljana of the Austrian Hockey League, and his father, Alain, once served as governor for the now-defunct Lewiston Maineiacs franchise.[11]
