The Blue Jackets said in its statement that the versatile Frenchman won't be with the team "per the advice and recommendation of the NHL/NHLPA Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program." Texier also missed the end of last season for personal reasons and a fractured finger. The 22-year-old managed to pick up 20 points in 36 games before being forced to end his season early. He's collected 49 points in total in 123 career appearances. Texier will be free to sign a one-year deal with a team in Europe for the upcoming season and his $1,525,000 cap hit will come off the books for Columbus.
