Any good? Seems like he had decent stats in AHL last year with Lake Erie. Face offs any good?

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Good depth for Utica? Would welcome any feedback from anyone who has seen him play.

 

[HarvP19]

i think some cbj fans had him penciled in the bottom 6. Had a good year with calder cup champs this year.

Gritty 4th line type. Huge Memorial Cup a few years ago. Skating an issue.

Decent depth signing.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

Like that we're actually signing guys for Utica now.

Must every single post you make be negative?

sounded very positive to me

Lesson learned.


Chaput is a solid organizational depth signing.

It was joke, calm down. We all know it's an AHL signing.

 

[Jabba The Hutton]

Based on the fancy stats, we should be keeping him in Utica. However, maybe he just needs a second chance on another NHL team.

Pls explain that chart. I'm old.

Pls explain that chart. I'm old.

It tells quite a lot of things, but basically in his 58 games with CBJ, he was used sparingly on the bottom 6 and was very bad at creating offensive chances while on the ice.

 

[MS]

Pls explain that chart. I'm old.

In a nutshell, his advanced stats are terrible and he's been a possession black hole.

He's surely signed for Utica, though, so whatever.

Would be willing to bet this signing is because Jimbo remembers Chaput being 'real good' in the Memorial Cup 5 years ago.

 

[Red]

He'll be good for Utica.

 

[huntison]

Ronald kenins replacement

 

[Shareefruck]

To be fair, saying "Plan the parade" after every minor transaction is a really lame, tired, and lazy joke that everyone repeatedly makes ad-nauseum.

Are there AHL stats for these things?

Love this pick up, was a big fan of his, hoping he can develop into the 3rd line shutdown center with some offensive skills he looked like he could be

That's not going to happen. He's Utica bound, most likely.

 

[Bad Goalie]

That's not going to happen. He's Utica bound, most likely.

Doesn't mean he CAN'T "develop into the 3rd line shutdown center with some offensive skills he could be be." Does it?
