“Right now, he’s filling a hole because there are injuries, and this year he happened to be available. Let’s just say we can already see how this is going to play out.
At some point, he’ll make a nice play, he’ll score a goal, and everyone will get excited, but the reality is that over 82 games, Alex Texier is not a National League player, because the problem is that he’s not a top-six guy, and it’s very hard to play on a fourth line since he’s not a physical player and not necessarily a super energetic one.
But he does have good hands. Once in a while it’ll look spectacular, but I think this is really, really a short-term thing for the Canadiens.
Never liked him. From the moment he arrived.”
