Player Discussion Michael Chaput - Shampoo At Your Service Edition (Traded)

[26Mats]

Makes me wonder if Chaput and Peca were really better than Pleks in the 4th C role. Hopefully Nate Thompson is better than them all. If he is, I'm surprised we got him so cheap.

They already called up Martineau and Adams-Moisan (our ECHL depth that was signed by Laval at the start of the year), plus signed Alex Kile to a PTO.

They just added Marc-Olivier Roy, 24 years old former Oilers 2nd rounder, on a PTO. He's a scorer at the ECHL level (0.93 PPG), but was never able to stick in the AHL (30 pts in 90 games, but only 10 in his last 48 games spanning 3 years).

If Chaput gets claimed, their PO hopes are pretty much dead.

Small consolation -- next year should be better with several prospects likely to be added. Kind of unfortunate for this year.

It was such a small price to pay that it's literally worth finding out.

Kings have to clean up their house.

I like Chaput but not as much as Agostino. Hopefully he clears.

Smile and waivers

 

[le_sean]

Just an awful player that has cost the team points.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Oops.

 

[Runner77]

He cleared.

Not seeing it on Twitter.

Didn't they just put him on waivers today?



Normally we find out 24 hours after being waived.

It's certainly possible I'm wrong. I received a notification from The Score app while I was working. It's possible it said he was put on waivers. My bad.

All good. Rocket fans would have been happy, tho.

That point he gave to Boston is STILL bothering me and us apparently in the standings lol

It was pretty obvious he was the one who had to go, Even hudon is playing a bit better these days.. Chaput brought nothing as far as im concerned, was worse than Agostino in my eyes

 

[sampollock]

Good, he is done!

He was the worst one of all the 4th liners. I always wondered why Chaput was in the line-up over Peca. I felt Peca contributed more offensively. And it's not like Chaput was any much better defensively, either. Other than face-offs, I don't see what Chaput offered what Peca didn't.

When Chaput was first called up and CJ put he, D'Lo, and Eyebrowstino together, they looked good. We were even saying that finally, the fourth line has an identity. We know that didn't last.

We shouldn't proclaim anything even with Weise and Thompson. We should keep in mind that if they do look real good at first, the goal is for them to be consistent with it. But I do have more faith in Thompson and Weise as they're vets with a lot of NHL experience, as opposed to Chaput and Agostino.

That's 1153 NHL games vs. 226 NHL games.

There were about 3 games, in a row, where he took bad penalties, resulting in goals...brutal. Some more time in the A with a few more of MB's crew of mis-fits will do him fine. Hopefully Ahlzner is paying for the team's meals!!

 

[Agalloch]

No surprise there.

 

[Belial]

No surprise there.

I was pretty confident he would clear but it seemed like almost all the players we placed on waivers lately got claimed so I was not sure at 100%.

Happy he cleared, will definitely help the Rocket.

 

[Whitesnake]

Finally some offensive help in Laval. Wonder about Frk in Montreal.....used to love the guy.

A while ago I would have been on board with at least trying it. He's at 300+ pro games now though and his ship seams to have sailed . He's a good producer at the AHL level so I guess he could be brought to Laval and be of some use to us.

 

[1909]

Coach Bouchard must be happy to have a vet back with his team in Laval. They need any help they can up front.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

He's got great jam. A real gamer. He's a good call up if needed. Nice to finally have a tiny bit of forward depth in the AHL after DLR, Scherbak and Agostino were all claimed.

Yeah, he is depth in case of an injury. I don’t think he is a full time nhler but can be useful in a pinch. The 4th is a lot better with Weise and Thompson.

 

[Runner77]

I never thought there would be another post in this thread, this season.

 

[Habs]

With Chablows and Captain Eyebrows gone, who will turnover the puck in our own end? Can Leks and Danault handle the turnovers all to themselves?
