Toyotasfan Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Glad the Canucks are bringing him back. A great 4th line asset, very similar to Malholtra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Must be tough looking at Ericksson and McJeebus et al signing for big money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hope we don't give him a 1 way contract, we've got more skill coming in than Chaput. He'd be brilliant in Utica though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per CapFriendly his qualifying offer was 750K at the NHL level. He is on a two-way and would only earn 70K in the AHL. He hasn't met the requirements for his qualifying offer to be a one-way deal - the qualifying offer is set by the CBA based on his previous contract.

Hairy Kneel Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 For all the stupid money thrown at Ericksson I hope we don't lose any promising guys to minimum wage 70K AHLcontracts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Meh. Easily replaced by a prospect on a two way deal shouldn't have even qualified him. Or resigned megna for that matter. This guy should have just be happy he's got an NHL job. Now he filed for arbitriaon and the Canucks can undo the mistake of qualifying him by simply walking away and then it's off to Europe for a fringe fourth liner on one of the worst teams.

In Friedman's 30 thoughts from 27 May. 28. [...]. If a team wants to walk away from a salary arbitration decision, the threshold is $4,084,219.

Thanks I knew they could walk away but I wasn't clear about all the finer details. too bad but they should have never qualified him. Now they need to bribe the abritrator 500k to award Chaput a 4million per contract.lol.and it wouldn't even go against the cap.ha. looks like waivers for shampoo and Megna most likely biega too.

Hairy Kneel Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Chaput didn't score only had faceoffs... I think we have replacements for that 4th line role. If we walk away we'd save a bit of cash for another young player (Boucher maybe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borvat Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I say walk away. There are tons of Michael Chaput's. Plus I want some bite in the fourth liners, he's a puppy. At least Labate stands up for himself and his team mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanucks25 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Replaceable, non-regular NHLer. Would be happy if he's an AHL signing, don't want to see him on the Canucks roster next year unless we have a ton of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 He progressed a lot last year and had a solid season. His FO% was around 52% I believe. His size + speed counts for something. I doubt he has the potential to move up the roster which will likely be his demise as the Canuck depth will likely do him in. We might be pleasantly surprised this fall. Failing that I suspect he moves back to the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 His arbitration hearing is on July 21st. Chaput is probably going to spend most of the season in the AHL with these new additions. He will have to go through waivers to go to Utica. I wonder if Benning might not put him on waivers before the arbitration hearing. It strengthens the Canucks case if he clears waivers and if he gets picked up it might be easier to deal with finding a replacement in the off-season rather than at the start of the season. The Wild used that waivers tactics with Schroeder last off-season. They were upset he took them to arbitration so they put him on waivers - he cleared. Predators also just used that strategy with Mazanec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
