And curiously enough, that link on Puckpedia does have the new contract info... but has it associated with the Blue Jackets. WTF.

Seems like a good gamble for the Blues. He looked like he was on pace to be a pretty awesome middle six guy before he had to step away.

I know his play was at best uneven last year but 30 points and 15 minutes per night isn’t terrible for having been away from the NHL for 1.5 years. And he’s still surprisingly young.

Looks like the return was negligible. Columbus basically offering him a fresh start elsewhere.

st louis fans are gonna love this kid.

he missed a lot of time here (injuries + spent a year back in france after multiple deaths in his family) and never really stuck in the top six but there's a really useful (and fun) player in there.

extremely fun player on breakaways/shootouts, plays with some jam, skates well and has great hands. just hasn't really put it all together yet, but if he gets a chance in the top six with st. louis i bet he sticks there.

Texier has some pretty good tools, if he can find his footing and consistently play full NHL seasons, he could be a late bloomer. At worst it seems like hes an above average bottom 6 player.
