The Blues have acquired Alexandre Texier from CBJ for a mid-round draft pick and, per @PuckPedia, signed him to a two-year extension carrying a $2.1M AAV. -[source](https://x.com/reporterchris/status/1806773741562810767)
Okay. We can stop now. Fuck, this hurts a lot.
How are none of the beat guys on this?
The player everyone wanted to work out but didn’t
I bet he’ll have a great year there, players like this we get rid of always seem to
Great deal for STL. Love the kid, hate to see him go, but I don’t think he was ever going to get the opportunity to reach his potential here. Hopefully he gets a real chance with the Blues. Good luck Tex!
I suspect this will be used in a package with someone else. I actually think everyone needs to realize that no one is safe and while we like these guys, they haven’t been getting the job done….
Man, this one sucks..
Reasonable return. Wish him well in St Louis. It was clear he needed a change of scenery. With Don’s comments, the writing was on the wall.
Loved Texier but very glad we made this move to clear some roster space. Hope he works out there.
Hey look my “would hate to lose player” was traded 😭
Didn’t work out, moving on
Oh god damn it
Geez on social media you’d think we just traded Connor McDavid
Damn. That’s a bummer. I liked him.
Awww man, totally understandable move, but I’ll miss Tex. Dude did nothing but hustle his ass off last year.
Firepoker forever.
Nooo… My signed cards will be sad to look at now…
Vronk in shambles
WHAT!?
Best of luck to Tex!
This is probably going to be a busy off-season of surprises for us. I’m just a bit tired of “yeah he’ll do better there” every time someone leaves our team.
Texier is like the poster child for CBJ fans overvaluing their players.
Tex 2024 all start game lock. At least that feels like our luck. Good luck to him. Glad he was able to make it back to the leauge, and glad he wasn’t done dirty because of personal issues.
Im not mad at it. He just wasn’t putting up the production he was expected to. If we want to go from being a bad team to a good team, we’re probably not going to have a decent amount of the players that were contributing to the bad team.
Well at least that was expected. No explosions yet.
🙁
🙁
RIP CBJ fire poker shootout move…
Damn why is it we always trade away the fan favorites lmao
Clearing out a roster spot. Best of luck Texier.
Wonder if this means they’ll pick up somebody depth in FA or if it means somebody like Malatesta makes the roster next year. I’m hoping for option 2
Here’s to you, frenchie
Anyone know how to remove the heat pressed numbers from a jersey? 🙁
That’s a nice return, glad to see us being proactive
