After starting the 2010–11 season with Carolina's AHL affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers, on November 23, 2010, Chaput was traded from the Hurricanes to the Anaheim Ducks, along with Matt Kennedy, in exchange for Ryan Carter. He was then immediately assigned to remain in the AHL with the Syracuse Crunch.[3] After 27 games with the Crunch, Chaput was again traded by the Ducks along with David Laliberte to the Boston Bruins in exchange for Brian McGrattan and Sean Zimmerman on February 27, 2011.[4]

Chaput played three games with the Comets before departing for Europe in signing for the remainder of the season with DEL2 club, Ravensburg Towerstars.
On July 16, 2014, Chaput opted to remain in Germany, signing a contract with DEL2 rival, Dresdner Eislöwen.[6] He assumed a role on Dresdner's top scoring line and completed his one-year tenure in the 2014–15 season, with 54 points in 43 games.
