Chaput was recalled from AHL Utica on Wednesday, Ben Birnell of the Utica Observer-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chaput has yet to draw into a contest for the Canucks this season, but there's potential for his first opportunity now that he's back with the big club. The 25-year-old forward has notched 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) through 20 games with Utica, but is unlikely to sustain that level of success with the NHL club.

Chaput was reassigned to AHL Utica on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The writing was on the wall here, as Chaput has yet to make his season debut with the parent club. He's strictly an organizational depth option at this juncture.

Chaput was summoned from the minors to Vancouver on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
After contributing nine points in 68 games at the NHL level last season, Chaput will rejoin Vancouver for their massive five-game road trip. The 25-year-old plays a versatile, physical game, and will likely be used as a depth forward.

Chaput was waived by Vancouver on Sunday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old forward signed a one-year, one-way deal with Vancouver in the offseason, but hasn't done enough in training camp to prove he belongs at the game's highest level. Chaput wasn't much of a factor in 2016-17, recording eight points in 68 games, so he's unlikely to be missed by fantasy owners.

Chaput re-signed with the Canucks on a one-year, one-way deal Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Chaput filed for salary arbitration last Thursday, but an arbitration hearing will no longer be necessary now that he's inked a fresh deal with Vancouver. The bottom-six forward only managed to tally eight points (four goals, four assists) in 68 games with the Canucks last campaign, so he doesn't produce enough offensively to be considered a viable option in season-long fantasy formats.

Chaput filed for salary arbitration ahead of Wednesday's deadline, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite logging a career-high 68 games, Chaput had a season to forget in 2016-17. The Quebec native recorded just nine points and a minus-12 rating, and his shooting percentage (6.3) was quite disappointing. Granted, it was tough for Chaput to do much with only 11:01 of average ice time, but we figure he'll be hard-pressed to persuade an arbiter that he's deserving of much more than the $600,000 he earned with Vancouver this past season.

Chaput will move up and play on the top scoring line with Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin in Saturday's game against the Oilers, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chaput gets a golden opportunity to show what he can do with the two most talented playmakers on the ice for Vancouver. The 24-year-old pivot has managed just four goals and seven points through 56 games so he isn't a recommended fantasy play in most seasonal formats unless he suddenly starts producing. However, he is worth a roll of the dice in DFS play since he'll get a crack as a top-six forward and his salary is super low.

Chaput (illness) is no longer on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.
EDGE Analysis
It looks like the 24-year-old pivot will return after missing two games with mumps, but he won't be a viable fantasy option as a skater averaging a mere 9:45 of ice time this season.

Chaput will sit out another game Tuesday -- with the Red Wings in town -- as he's dealing with mumps, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The depth pivot unfortunately contracted the infectious viral disease this past Saturday, and now he'll miss his second straight contest as a result. Look for Brandon Sutter and Brendan Gaunce to comprise the bottom six at the center position with Chaput still unavailable.

Chaput will miss Saturday's game against the Sharks after showing symptoms of mumps, Matthew Sekeres of TSN 1040 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chaput is one of four Canucks projected to miss Saturday's contest after the players contracted the virus during their bye week. It's unclear how long the illness will keep him sidelined, but Chaput doesn't contribute a whole lot offensively anyway -- he has just two points since Jan. 7.
