Chaput was the fourth Canadiens forward to be placed on waivers since the season started, but the first one to clear. He has seven goals and three assists in 18 AHL games this season and then played 32 NHL games and had five assists.
He signed a two-year, two-way contract as an unrestricted free agent over the summer, and needed to clear waivers before being able to be assigned to the AHL.
