Perfect move for the Blues given the state of the rebuild. Low risk with decent upside should things pan out.

Wish tex the best. I was never as high on him as other CBJ fans, but he can play anywhere in the lineup.

Columbus has too many middle of the pack players pushing for roster spots so this doesn't surprise me. This allows players like Dumais or Brindley to maybe make the team out of camp

This wasn't a fleecing by the Blues, but Waddell nonetheless unquestionably f***ed up. It's an easy textbook case.
Here's the offer sheet compensation information AAV ranges for the year, per CapFriendly:
Here is Texier's prior contract that was expiring:
Note that the both the AAV of Texier's previous contract ($1.525m) and the AAV of Texier's new contract ($2.1m) BOTH put him within the range of a 3rd round pick in RFA offer sheet compensation. And the fact that the first news we had of this happening was release of the contract details is a very strong indicator that Texier and/or his agent were already talking with the Blues - which would have required Waddell's permission.
Given that, a 3rd in 2025 would have been the bare minimum return, unless Waddell somehow got it into his head that Texier was going to give the Blues a discount and take a pay cut. Waddell got a 4th in that same year.
He unquestionably f***ed up. There's no excuse for it. Thankfully it's not a large f***up, but it is a clear, unambiguous, and inexcusable one.

Bummed that Toronto wasn’t in on him so we could have a TexMex line.

He can still be your favorite! Come root for the Blues as your western conference team.

Based on the contract compensation he could very well have gotten that. 2nd was the high end expectation; 3rd was more likely. Waddell couldn't even manage that.
