Honestly - there should be WAY more talk about this kid.
He is leading one of the best teams in the QMJHL in scoring as a defender. Is well over a PPG and is playing his strong two way game.
A lot of talk about Hutson as a second round defender that is smashing expectations but what Luneau has done in Gatineau this year has been almost as impressive.
Crazy there hasn’t been anyone updating this thread this year.

He's a Duck... No surprises his thread is dead.
Yeah, there are four teams that kind of dominate the thread talk in this particular forum and the Ducks are not one of them.
Gatineau, with the addition of Kidney, look like they could contend with the Remparts to come out as Q champion. Luneau may have a very long spring of important hockey ahead of him.
He's been looking good and purely dominant at times. And yeah, he has been putting up a pretty remarkable season.
For us Ducks fans it can get tiring of keep updating all our defensemen on the main boards
But looks like Luneau will have a bright future – he fell in the draft because of a big injury but looks like he is getting over it.

McTavish had some strong moments. Guys who play at the WJC and have success get that exposure, so perhaps Luneau will have his moment this December.
The only Ducks prospects I can think of that have gotten a ton of hype were players that killed it at the WJC (Zegras and Drysdale in 2020, McTavish and Zellweger in 2021).
Other then that this is pretty standard.

Liked this player in his draft year even though his stock was sinking, wanted my team to trade down and take him...glad he is doing well.

Between Luneau, Noah Warren, Zellwegger... Yeah, you could say we're stoked about our defensive pipeline. What would be great is if they were ready now because our D is a sieve.
Don’t forget Pavel Mintyukov & Tyson Hinds. Hinds is criminally underrated.
I also think Ian Moore has NHL potential but is some years away. Oh, and there is LaCombe who's 5th in NCAA D scoring.
But yes, Hinds might be the most underrated.
But back on topic, Luneau albeit leading his team in scoring would drop a few spots if calculated on a PPG basis. But he's still damn good.
Depending on players like Leneau coming back or not, Gatineau may be even better next season as well
I’m assuming Moore is gone. He is going into his senior year at Harvard next year.
It's likely, but we cannot know for sure. I hope we are able to get him.
Anyway, back to Luneau
I guess he's our 2nd best RHD prospect/young player behind Drysdale. Then Warren, Helleson in that order. Not sure if I'm forgetting someone.

Anaheim prospect that plays in the QMJHL and doesn’t play a flashy game.
But I agree. He is showing that he should have been a first rounder.
I've always had him mid first as one if the top Ds in the draft with Nemec, Jiricek and Mintyukov. I wanted Montreal to trade up to draft him if still available around #20, can you imagine that?
Guy was drafted #1 OA in the Q for a reason. Got his knee injured, and suddenly Maverick Lamoureux is better??? Even Anaheim drafted Warren before him. Are you kidding me?
Pathetic scouting if you ask me.
Was so mad when the Habs drafted Mesar and Beck instead of him.

It is insane we went Warren before him, we don’t have any that big that can skate like him though. I remember Luneau being a mid-first rounder in some pre-season mocks, injury really scared everyone off.
