return?

 

[StickShift]

He needed a fresh start.

Started off with so much potential, but it feels like things went sideways on-and-off the ice in CBJ.

Mostly off. We did the best we could by him. Hope this helps him.

I'm still kind of wondering what the return is, tho...

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

I'm sorry, I missed it. What was texier even traded for?

Edit: well I learned that the signing was announced first before the trade. That's a new one

 

[GKJ]

Think this is the first time we got the extension announced before the trade

Yeah, and this just showed up in my feed:

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.

Very cool!

Mid-round draft pick? So like a 3rd? As in what Columbus would get if someone gave him an offer sheet?

 

[cbjthrowaway]

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.

Presumably/hopefully. If we got less than that I'ma be a mite irritated.

WOW…..thought he had higher value than that

Johnston is getting his info from puckpedia? They truly are trying to take over from capfriendly

 

[PensandCaps]

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.

 

[ViD]

Just a 4th ?

Kinda cheap

 

[CanuckCity]

seems like a really good move for the blues, low risk medium reward
