Profile Contributed By: Kevin Forbes
History
Chaput was originally selected in the third round of the 2004 QMJHL Draft out of West Island. He was a late cut in training camp, but did see occasional spot duty over the course of the season for Lewiston, picking up five points in eight games. Chaput made the squad out of training camp in his second attempt, catching a spot on the third line. Chaput’s tenacity, hard work, and offensive skills saw him move rapidly up the depth charts, and by mid-season, Chaput was a regular contributor on the second line, playing both on the power play and on the penalty kill, bringing a hard hitting, tireless fore-checking style of play. He finished his first full season with 48 points in 69 games.
Talent Analysis
Chaput is full of energy on the ice, willing to hit regularly. He is a strong skater with a good nose for the net, and is willing to work hard in the trenches to create plays. A tenacious fore-checker as well as a responsible back-checker, Chaput is also a valuable defensive forward, giving fits to the opposition’s top players, and playing hard on the Lewiston penalty kill.
Future
Chaput would make a great third or fourth line energy player, but also someone who has offensive skills strong enough that he could step up onto a second line role.
