Texier was reportedly going to be suspended without pay due to the fact he ignored a NHLPA recommendation to take the NHLPA's substance abuse program aswell as a Behavioural Health Program to which he originally refused to go.
The 22-year-old remains in Europe and will play closer to his home and family near Grenoble, France while he tries to get his life in order. �
Last March, Texier was granted a leave of absence by the club after he suffered a finger injury on January 26 vs. Calgary.
The young 22 year old has been with the Jackets for 4 seasons now and was seen a huge part of the teams rebuild.
We at House of Hockey wish this young man nothing but the best and hope he gets all the help he needs!
