That kid is being slept on by many lists that put him outside the 1st round.
My prediction?
If he is still available at around #20, Montreal trades up with Calgary's pick to grab him.
Local kid. All-around RHD with size. Great attitude. Former #1 OA in the QJMHL. Draft in Montreal. IMO the top Q player available in the draft before Gaucher. Fits right there in that Montreal prospect pool on the right side that lacks talent beside Mailloux and Barron.
No brainer pick. Might end up the top D in the draft with Nemec and Jiricek IMO.

The First Overall Pick in the 2020 QMJHL Draft, Tristan Luneau has developed into a strong two-way defender for the Gatineau Olympiques. In 2020-21, he put up four goals and 14 assists for 18 points in 31 games. He earned a spot on the QMJHL All-Rookie Team. He was also named the winner of the Raymond Lagace Trophy as the QMJHL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year. Luneau also added one assist in four playoff games. Unfortunately, the Olympiques would lose their first-round series, three games to one to the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada.

He is heavily overlooked IMO. Yeah this draft class is pretty deep in regards to defenders - However I only count 2 right handed defenders I would take over Luneau in Jircek and Nemec.

Does Anaheim have scouts anywhere outside of Québec ?

Getting this guy late second is good value. If you combine Gaucher and Luneau picks in those slots, I think that’s a good outcome. And then obviously the Mintyukov pick is one that Ducks fans are happy about.
Don’t forget Warren! Beast.

Pretty happy with this pick from the Ducks perspective. Damn strong D pool. Hopefully we signed a stop gap veteran to bridge the gap to our D prospects.

kept saying I didn't see him going top 20. But should be a good pickup for the Ducks at 53rd OA.

From the Athletic:
Tristan Luneau, RHD, Anaheim: Luneau had a good year, but not as good as expected for the No. 1 QMJHL pick who was very impressive as a 16-year-old. It was thus a bit of a pleasant surprise that he not only held his own at a U20 camp, but was good. Luneau was moving the puck very well, and able to make plays that led to scoring chances. His defending isn’t anything great, but his offensive play looked legit.

Has been sent back to Gatineau, had a very strong preseason for the Ducks in my opinion.
Luneau coming off of a 2+3 game, now 7+15 in 20 games, good for number two in defenseman scoring in the QMJHL. Good start to the season for him.

He looks much improved this year - and is chipping in more offensively as well.

I wonder what the chances are the ducks have the leading defensive point getter in all 3 Canadian jr leagues.
Mintyukov currently leading the OHL
Zellweger(top 5) led last year, off to a slowish start for him point wise but still generating a crazy amount of shots and offense, I imagine he’ll eventually take the lead in WHL.
Luneau #2 in qmjhl, really started to heat up…. He’s prob the least likely to lead out of the 3.
Lacombe is also #2 in ncaa scoring from back end
How’s it looking for lacombe being signed after his college season for the ducks?

No clue tbh... kinda a bit worried about him and thrun(granted both seem to be friends with Zegras)
If their goal is to play in the NHL asap... ducks are a pretty good bet, would suck to get Justin Schultz'd again.
Agreed was just wondering after looking at his numbers over his college career. Lots of spots available on the ducks blue line this season if he can sign while their still playing.

Im hoping in Lacombes case, he sticks with anaheim.... Anaheim went pretty off the board for him.... so it was obviously a guy our scouts had a lot of faith in.
