Career

Michael Chaput began his career as a hockey player with the Lions de Lac Saint-Louis, for which was active in the 2007/08 season in the lower class junior league QMAAA. He then moved to the Lewiston MAINEiacs in the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec , the highest junior league in Québec. In his rookie season , he completed 29 games for the team from the US state of Maine , but were not called into the squad in the playoffs. In the following season , Chaput was finally able to establish himself in the MAINEiacs squad and scored a total of 55 points in 68 games. In the playoffs for the championship in the LHJMQ, however, the team was eliminated in the first round after four games. In the 2010 NHL Entry Draft , the Philadelphia Flyers selected Michael Chaput with their first draft pick in the third round in 89th place.

The 2010/11 season ended Chaput total of 59 points in 62 games and improved his plus / minus footprint significantly from -12 to +23. In the playoffs, in which the MAINEiacs failed only in the semifinals against the Saint John Sea Dogs , Chaput was next to Kirill Kabanow the most successful scorer of his team. In 13 games he scored 7 goals and recorded 13 assists. When the MAINEiacs were disbanded at the end of the season, the remaining players were distributed to the other teams in a dispersal draft . Chaput was selected in the third place by the Cataractes de Shawinigan . In the NHL he was transferred to the Columbus Blue Jackets in February 2011 together with Greg Moore .

With the Cataractes he was able to surpass his performance from the previous year and scored 63 goals in 57 games, and he also ended the season with a plus / minus balance of +39. In the playoffs he scored 12 points, but did not get past the quarter-finals with his team. However, the Cataractes were automatically qualified as hosts for the 2012 Memorial Cup . Although the team finished fourth and last in the preliminary round, thanks to two wins in the knockout round, they were able to reach the final. There they won the Memorial Cup for the first time in the club's history with a 2-1 victory over the London Knights . Chaput finished the tournament with 12 points as the best scorer and was also awarded the Stafford Smythe Memorial Trophy as the most valuable player . He was also on the all-star team of the tournament.

NHL

On April 28, 2012, he signed a three-year entry - level contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets . In the following season he then moved to the farm team of the Blue Jackets, the Springfield Falcons , in the American Hockey League . There Chaput earned a regular place in the squad and finally moved into the playoffs with the team.

At the end of the 2015/16 season, he won the Calder Cup with the Lake Erie Monsters , the Jackets' new farm team . Nevertheless, his contract in the organization of the Blue Jackets was not extended, so that he joined the Vancouver Canucks as a free agent in July 2016 . He spent two years there before being given to the Chicago Blackhawks in June 2018 in exchange for Tanner Kero . This did not extend his contract, which expired a little later, so that he signed a one-year contract with the Canadiens de Montréal in July 2018 . There he commuted in the course of the 2018/19 season - as in his previous stations - between the NHL and AHL squads. In February 2019 he was transferred to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Jordan Weal .
