Not that I don't like Warren, but Cosentino's final draft rankings came out today, and he has Warren in his first round and Luneau nowhere to be found....that's crazy in my opinion. Has Luneau really fallen that far that he isn't the top Q defender anymore....not in my mind....in fact not even close in my mind.
I'll be honest, I really don't understand the Luneau hype. He processes the game well and has solid vision, but his physical tools scare me. His skating is especially rough. I really think that holds him back. It's quite rough. He just doesn't do anything at an elite level. He's a late 2nd for me. I do think he has NHL potential, but I think he has limited upside
As for Warren, it's all upside. He is such an incredible athlete. Massive, physical, skates extremely well. I loved his defensive game, great at closing gaps, stopping cycles, really uses his stick well, sound positional discipline, doesn't rely on physicality, but can punish when the opportunity is there. The negatives would be limited offensive tools, vision in the o-zone and puck skills. He's extremely raw though. That's what's so exciting. The thought of what he could be in 5 years
