Chlapik has signed with the Lahti Pelicans of the Finnish Elite League, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chlapik just had his contract terminated by Ottawa on Feb. 25 and has already found a landing spot overseas. The 23-year-old forward's NHL playing days may have already come to an end.

Chlapik was waived for the purpose of terminating his contract Thursday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chlapik has only made one NHL appearance this season after drawing into 31 games with the Senators last campaign, so it's possible he requested to have his contract terminated so he could seek more lucrative opportunities overseas. The 2015 second-round pick's time in the NHL may have already come to an end.

Chlapik was placed on waivers by the Senators on Thursday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chlapik has only made one appearance with the big club this season, registering one shot and one hit in 7:11 of ice time Jan. 28 against Vancouver. He'll likely spend the majority of the 2020-21 campaign in the minors.

The Senators reassigned Chlapik to AHL Belleville on Sunday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chlapik has seen one game with the big club this season, recording one shot and no points across 7:11 of ice time. The 23-year-old is expected to spend a majority of his time this season between the taxi squad and minors. Michael Peca was also reassigned to the AHL, with Logan Brown ascending to the taxi squad in corresponding moves Sunday.

Chlapik was recalled from the taxi squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Chlapik has yet to make his season debut, but he's eligible to take the ice for Thursday's matchup against the Canucks. However, the 23-year-old may simply be pregame injury insurance. He produced six points and 71 hits over 31 games last season while averaging just 8:46 of ice time.

Chlapik has been skating on Ottawa's second line during training camp, Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chlapik struggled with the big club last season, notching just six points in 31 contests, but he was decent with AHL Belleville, picking up 10 goals and 22 points in 37 games. The 23-year-old is poised to skate on the Senators' second line and second power-play unit this season, so his NHL numbers should improve, but he likely won't score enough to be worthy of a roster spot in most fantasy formats.

Chlapik put pen to paper on a one-year, two-way deal with the Senators on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Chlapik is currently playing on loan with Sparta Praga in the Czech league but will rejoin the Senators for training camp. While the 23-year-old center should have a good chance of securing a spot on the 23-man roster, he's far from a lock and will have to work hard to earn his place.

Chlapik signed a deal to begin the 2020-21 campaign with Sparta Praha of the Czech league Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chlapik split time between the NHL and AHL in 2019-20, picking up six points in 31 games with the big club and 22 points in 37 minor-league appearances. The 23-year-old forward will head to the Czech Republic for now, but he'll be recalled ahead of next season's training camp and could be a full-time player for the Senators in 2020-21.

The Senators reassigned Chlapik to AHL Belleville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Chlapik was brought up for Tuesday's game against the Predators, and the 22-year-old forward scored a goal on two shots in the 3-2 loss. If Anthony Duclair (undisclosed) and Colin White (undisclosed) aren't healthy for Thursday's matchup versus the Canucks, expect Chlapik to be recalled again.

Chlapik scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Chlapik was summoned from AHL Belleville earlier in the day and scored late in the first period to give the Senators a 2-1 lead. The 22-year-old has seen action in 31 games with Ottawa this season, collecting three goals and three assists.
