From the Utica website: Chaput, he's a scorer. Memorial Cup MVP Amateur Career: Won CHL Memorial Cup in 2012 and was second on Shawinigan with 12 QMJHL postseason points. Earned Stafford Smyth Trophy as Memorial Cup MVP. Earned Ed Chynoweth Award as Memorial Cup leading scorer with 12 points (5G, 7A). Selected to All-Star Team at 2012 Memorial Cup. Finished first among Shawinigan skaters in 2011-12 regular season with 42 assists and second with 21 goals. Named alternate captain of MAINEiacs in 2010-11 and was second in goals (25) and points (59). Led Lewiston in goals (28) during 2009-10 season. Personal Notes: Played with Troy Stecher in 2011-12 with the Penticton Vees (BCHL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Graovac's definitely somebody the Canucks should be claiming. Big centre. Right age. And with the Canucks having a roster spot (thanks to Baertschi being placed on the IR), he's a worthy gamble. Could be an upgrade on Chaput or Skille (I'm not if Graovac can play both Centre and Wing). If he's not claimed by the Canucks, he'll be claimed by another team. No way he makes it through waivers. That said, I do really like Chaput. I think he's underrated here. Memorial Cup MVP and Calder Cup winner. He's been pretty solid this season. It's Megna and Skille that I don't like as much. I'd rather claim Graovac and waive Megna or Skille. Preferably both and rock a Graovac - Chaput - Boucher 4th line for the rest of the season (especially once Baertschi returns). But that's just wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SliteriousBlackbeard Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 6 goals in 45 games no assists.....hmmm....with 4th line minutes and possibly the worst possession player in Stewart.....sounds to me, 6 times he stole the puck and scored? Must be some skill there. I'd take a chance on this hard working kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's get this straight.... 1. Hes 23, 24 in april 2. 6'5" 212lbs WOW 3. Has the ability to take the puck and scored. 4. Defensivly has only coughed up the puck 3 times in 45 games... Those stats sound even more like a benning type player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 23. Send him to Bo's skating coach. He was a real late pick 7th round . He is a natural late bloomer. Dave Andreychuk, Phil Esposito and Jason Allison were all considered very poor skaters in there day. All had very healthy careers, who are we to judge a player that hasn't made it to his prime and has a lot of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazar is from bc. I see no other ott player van would be looking at. Lazar is worse then Graovic. You'll see Lazar on waivers in the next couple years. If Hansen was going to Ottawa I'd like to see it be for Jonathan Dahlen he was who I wanted with our 2nd rounder last year (that went to Gudbranson).

DownUndaCanuck Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 He has more goals than most of our team. Why wouldn't you if you were Benning. Improvement on Chaput/Megna/Skille, maybe even Gaunce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher explained that their 4th line kept on losing board battles and turning the puck over and they need their 4th line to be better defensively. It was between him and Schroeder.
