6-0, 190

Shoots: Left
Acquired from Anaheim with David Laliberte for Brian McGrattan and Sean Zimmerman, February 27, 2011
Signing status: Signed through 2012
Talent Analysis
Physical: Average-sized player. Doesn't have exceptional speed or quickness, but gets where he needs to go effectively enough. Above average puck skills. Plays with effort and energy. Will initiate contact despite not having much in the way of a physical game/disposition.
Intangibles: Smart two-way forward who doesn't bring high-end instincts to the table, but is effective at reading and anticipating the play. Opportunistic player who makes the most out of his limited skills and upside.

Projection
Unless injuries decimate the Bruins, Chaput looks like strictly AHL filler and an emergency player available in a pinch. The 153rd overall selection in 2006 by Carolina after they won the Stanley Cup now finds himself in a similar situation in Boston: trying to crack the roster of the defending NHL champion. Scored seven points in 15 games with the Baby Bruins after the trade, so he does bring functionality and experience to the AHL lineup.

I think that Bruins is a great player when he was in his prime time and we were following at Host Pay Per Head community but I hope that he can return like he used to play.
