Chaput recently signed with Barys Astana in the KHL, per Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com.
EDGE Analysis
Chaput recorded 33 points (12 goals, 21 assists) in 57 games last season with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. The 30-year-old Chaput has scored six goals with 16 assists in 182 career NHL contests. The move to the KHL will likely signal the end of his North American playing career.

Chaput was returned to AHL Wilkes-Barre Scranton on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Chaput was brought up by the big club ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Boston, but the 29-year-old vet didn't crack the lineup against the Bruins or the Senators on Thursday. Chaput has yet to appear in an NHL contest this season and likely won't be doing so anytime soon.

Chaput was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre.Scranton on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Chaput will be in the mix for a spot in the lineup against Boston on Tuesday after Evgeni Malkin was placed in the league's COVID-19 protocols, though youngster Valtteri Puustinen, who has been tearing it up in the minors, was called up as well. Even if Chaput does get the chance to play, it figures to be in a bottom-six role and he shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Chaput was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Chaput will presumably remain in the minors through the NHL's All-Star break. The 29-year-old forward has yet to crack the Penguins' lineup this season.

Chaput was recalled to the active roster by the Penguins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Chaput has yet to feature in a game for Pittsburgh this season, suiting up exclusively in the minors. In those 22 games with the Baby Pens, the 29-year-old center has generated two goals and seven helpers. Even if Danton Heinen (upper body) remains sidelined, Chaput is unlikely to earn a spot in the lineup versus the Capitals on Tuesday.

Chaput was waived by Pittsburgh on Friday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chaput drew into 13 games with the Coyotes last season, going scoreless while posting a minus-7 rating. The 29-year-old forward may get into a few games with the Penguins this year, but he'll almost certainly spend most of his time in the minors.

Chaput inked a one-year, two-way contract with Pittsburgh on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Chaput spent most of last season on the taxi squad, as he logged just 13 games last year in which he registered three shots, 10 PIM and 19 hits while averaging 9:24 of ice time. Considering Chaput hasn't scored an NHL goal since the 2016-17 season when he was with Vancouver, he figures to be a non-factor in fantasy contests.

Chaput was assigned to the taxi squad Saturday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Chaput won't be eligible to play in Saturday's season finale versus the Sharks. The 29-year-old forward made 13 appearances for the Coyotes this season, but he failed to record a point and added only 19 hits and a minus-7 rating in limited action.
