TEXT ME! WE ANSWER

The Montreal Canadiens have scooped up forward Alex Texier off waivers — and there’s a lot to unpack.

In today’s episode, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down why the Habs made this move, what it says about their current lineup needs, and how Texier fits into the long-term picture.

We dive into:
➡️ Why the Canadiens claimed Texier — roster depth, injuries, versatility, and upside
➡️ Pros & Cons of his game — playmaking ability, skating, defensive consistency, and usage history
➡️ What type of player he really is — PK help? Energy/transition support?
➡️ Where he fits in the lineup — realistic role, ice-time expectations, and who he pushes for minutes
➡️ What this means for the rest of the roster moving forward
