The St. Louis Blues acquired veteran center Alexandre Texier from the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday for a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL draft.
After the deal, the Blues immediately signed Texier to a two-year contract extension worth $4.2 million. The deal for Texier -- originally drafted by Columbus, No. 45 overall, in 2017 -- will carry an average annual value of $2.1 million.
Texier, 24, was a second-round selection of the Blue Jackets in the 2017 draft and posted 79 points (34 goals, 45 assists) in 201 games with Columbus.
The France native represented his home country in four IIHF World Championships (2018, 2019, 2022, 2023) and two IIHF World Junior Championships (2017, 2018).
