  2. Pretty cheap for somebody getting first line minutes. That’s really nothing in the grand scheme of things. Glad he’s sticking around.

  3. Little surprised it came this fast but I like it. Can be a great utility guy, play anywhere in the lineup

  4. I’m glad to see him sticking around. Don’t know about the production lasting but he hustles like crazy and should be a great middle-six guy for the next two years with the potential to play well above this pay.

  5. That’s a perfect contract. Cheap for the team and gives him a chance to cash in at 29 as long as he keeps performing as he has been.

  6. Good value contract for Texier. Pretty low dollar value and moveable should it not work out anymore during the next two years.

  7. I’m fine with having him on the bottom 6.

    I wonder what it means for other players like Dach, Veleno and Blais. We have now 11 forwards players under contract for next season, and it’s hard to imagine Bolduc isn’t getting an extension, so in reality it’s 12 forwards.

  8. For a guy that seems able to play up and down the lineup it’s a nice little deal to hold over a roster spot while the young guys get up to speed.

  9. Point per game pace on the 1st line and 33 pt pace before that. Seems like a good deal!

  10. This is a no lose kind of deal. Not too much money or term that it can’t be flushed if needed, but also really cheap for a piece who can play on 3 different lines if needed.

  11. Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻

    From Waiver pickup to FULL Hab in record time.

    I love when ‘ coach and culture ‘ can turn a player around like this.

  12. Great upside. Takes a ton of pressure of Tex and lets him continue to be happy. Low cost depth for us. Win across the board.

  13. He likes it here, the fans love him, he could have had three goals last night. For such little money, this is a great signing. Hope he continues to enjoy his time and play hard.

  14. Great signing!

    Has shown an ability to play and up and down the line up and at that cap hit even if he ends up closer to the 4th line player he was signed as it’ll be fine value.

  15. IMO this signature means it might be the end for Dach and Laine with us. If they had high confidence about one of those two we would have waited after their return before extending him, because he would have played less quality minutes and his value would have stayed low.

  16. Solid deal honestly, low cost, low risk. Edmonton should takes notes *Cough* Trent Frederic

  18. Not sure if we are going to resign him, but Dach’s agent just lost a tiny bit of leverage for his RFA contract negotiations now.

  19. Le cap salarial va exploser durant les prochaines années

    Texier a une dimension physique à sa game qui est très sous-estimée. Quand les morceaux du puzzle vont se mettre en place, il sera sur la 3. Un duo Newhook-Texier, j’aime ça beaucoup..

    2.5 millions pour un joueur de profondeur pouvant remplacer temporairement sur la 1, c’est un excellent deal! Texier ne se rend jamais coupable d’être invisible sur la glace. Sa production offensive va régresser, c’est certain, mais sa game se traduit très bien sur une 3.

    Si j’étais Dach et Laine, je serais inquiet (on s’entend, bye bye Laine) Dach, c’est moins certain.

    Un bon contrat pour un joueur qui VEUT jouer ici, ce qui était jusqu’à tout récemment, une denrée rare.

    Qu’il parle français n’a aucun impact sur le contrat. Il l’a mérité, et on a secure sa valeur avant qu’il atteigne la date du 1er juillet.

    Went Hughes.

  20. Le gars peut jouer en avantage et désavantage, bon gabarit et il l’utilise, peut jouer n’importe où sur un top 9, il est exactement avec Newhook le genre de joueurs de profondeurs qui t’aident à gagner quand il y a des blessés (genre Dach). Tres bonne signature. Texier sur une 3e ligne avec Anderson pis Danault ça pourrait être spécial.

  21. Good contract. He has the potential to play above his pay for sure, and he can be a shootout specialist.

  22. Solid solid deal. Everyone saying that was quick from KH but look how quick texier fell in love with this city/team. Players want to sign in MTL right now.

  23. Big body, can grind for the puck, has hands, can score. His passing/vision isn’t amazing but I’m sure that’ll improve a bit as he gets used to the Habs system and the speed that they play with. Gotta remember he hasn’t played much recently. So there’s definitely potential with this guy.

    2.5m is nothing. 

  24. a little bit of security/stability for him, hopefully helps him stay as focused and productive as he has been!

    anyone else been impressed by his physical game? i didn’t expect him to be throwing many hits or being as chippy as he has been, but hes had a few good ones and doesnt back out of scrums from what ive seen.
