RD Tristan Luneau - Gatineau Olympiques, QMJHL (2022, 53rd, ANA)

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Soooo Anaheim has Luneau from the Q, Mintyukov from the O and Zellweger from the Dub.... Uhhhh wtf lol

252 combined points between the 3 of them this season during regular season

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Montreal has a complete top 6 for the coming decade (Guhle, Barron, Mailloux, Hutson, Xhekaj, Harris)... Maybe Reinbacher soon... So no Anaheim is not necessarily better armed. It will depend on the elite quality of the best. The best are rather in Montreal (Hutson, Guhle). Mintyukov can be a game changer. Drysdale... incomplete.

You can't be serious with this, can you?

I've never in my life as a fan see three D in their respective leagues be so highly praised and dominate their peers from the same team that drafted them

Lots of competition for spots, but who knows. To disregard Anaheim for not having a 'complete top-6' shows how little you know about the club

The site will improve its reputation only when the useless mockery, scorn and denigration disappear. THANKS.

13 years difference between Fowler and Luneau. Fowler will not belong to the team that will play for the win with Bedard/Fantilli/Carlsson, Zegras, McTavish, Luneau, Mintyukov, etc...



The discussion was about which team had the best prospect group, I wasn't off topic. Not my fault.

Very happy with the Luneau season. I would have preferred Montreal to select him instead of Mesar.

Neither will Shattenkirk, Kulikov, or Benoit so your comparison is still pointless.

When you claim that the top scoring defensemen in all three junior leagues and a very good college defenseman are unlikely to have any NHL value without giving a good reason why aside from "my team's prospects are better " I think it's fair to claim your premise is preposterous and not worth taking seriously.

It's possible to say your prospects are better without "denigrating" another team's prospects and dismissing them as not worth the praise.

20-year-old guys dominating in junior leagues...

Deja vu every year, dozens of times.

From the guy praising Hutson while calling Drysdale incomplete.

I know hockey came to Vegas in 2017 but the history of this game is full of very dominant CHL defensemen who didn't perform in the NHL.

The junior/senior transition is very difficult.

Defenders who score a lot of points in the CHL, there are plenty every year. Among them, very few manage to transpose their domination in NHL.

I was courteous and did not try to disparage anyone here.

Anyway, I was talking about the superiority of Buffalo and New Jersey regarding the young defense.

From the guy praising Hutson while calling Drysdale incomplete.

Considered the best NCAA defenseman in his first year by specialists. Drysdale is two years older. Until then, he's been in big trouble defensively in the NHL. Hutson is not an offensive defenseman. He is extremely effective in the game without a palace with his stick, places himself well and optimizes his physical size.

Sick burn. I forget the Vegas fanbase has zero fans of the game who started watching hockey well before the expansion. Every single resident in the city of Las Vegas ignored hockey until 2017

And I understand that. You don't need to tell me about how tricky it is to transition into the NHL for a defenseman. Just off the top of my head, Justin Schultz, Jimmy Schuldt, Griffin Reinhart, Ryan Murray all fell well short of expectations.

What you still haven't done is provide an explanation as to how Anaheim's young defensemen won't be players with any NHL value. All you've provided is a vague and general statement about a challenge that all prospects face.

So let's keep it relevant to the thread. What is it about Tristan Luneau's game that will make it so unlikely that he will have any NHL value?

One can easily write similarly or more ecstatic reviews about Mintyukov, Zellweger and maybe Luneau. You’re moving goalposts all over the place.

I don't know where you're coming from.

I prefer Luke Hughes and Simon Nemec.

I prefer Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power.

I was just saying that Anaheim didn't have the best defense for the next years

pretty crazy

Doesn’t include hinds who was arguably best dmen in the Q. Lacombe was pretty solid college player too

Lacombe was

I am not a diviner. I don't know who will be tomorrow's champion. I remain skeptical about the famous abundance of a bank of hopes that relies mainly on defenders selected in the 2nd-4th round while other teams rely on players selected top 5 like Buffalo and New Jersey.

No love for Warren on the last page

Luneau Mintyukov and zellweger are all 19?

No one cares bout Hutson here, we have a similar player in drysdale and zellweger who are both built better than hutson.

Not sure why you continue to come in here trying to pump his tires.

Anaheims history of drafting Dmen the last 15 years is just insane.....

Luneau
Mintyukov
Zellweger
Lacombe
Hinds
Drysdale
Thrun
Mahura
Montour

Vatanen
Gardiner

You don't think Anaheim has an established track record of drafting defensemen? Us dumb dumbs in Vegas who've only been watching hockey for 6 years are pretty happy with Shea Theodore.

The terrible part is the defense we iced last year considering how well we’ve drafted dmen.

the thing is too, i guarentee hes never even seen Hutson play... just watches on youtube.

Mintyukov and Zellweger are in their final year. They play against players who are mostly younger than them.

Either way, if these players are as strong as you say, Anaheim will have a hard time signing them all. 6 defenders at $10,000,000, that's going to be hard to keep under the cap.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Drysdale 6 behind Sanderson and worries a lot defensively. A year with a serious injury.
Mintyukov : best prospect but still in OHL.
Zellweger... We'll see in a senior league. He plays in a league being the oldest. Hutson plays in a league being the youngest.
Lacombe and Helleson... LOL

Luneau was disappointing last year. Not a matter of injury. He had a very good season. I think he will be a good top 4 defender. But will he be better than Guhle, Hutson, Barron and potentially Reinbacher (tipped to be selected 6th by Montreal)


Never Zellweger comes out top 10 of a 2021 redraft.

Youtube is full of matches in full dude.

Where have I said anything bout how strong they are?

You’re the one here pumping up Montreal prospects. I’m in the right area, and just discussing ducks prospects who are doing very well.

Wrong again, both junior eligible again next season.
