Inside Scott Wheeler’s Bold 2022 NHL Draft Shake-Up: Which Stars Rise and Fall?

22. Anaheim Ducks: RHD Tristan Luneau

Actual draft pick: No. 53 (change: +31) to Anaheim
My final ranking: No. 32 (change: +10)

If you’ve followed my work, you’ll know that I’ve been very high on Luneau for a very long time, even through the complicated knee troubles and the infection. Today, I believe he’s one of the most underrated prospects in hockey, and I actually debated ranking him a little higher here. He was one of the best defensemen in the AHL last season, has looked the part in the NHL and is clearly ready to play in the league full-time. I’m really happy with my evaluation of Luneau over the years. I think he’s going to have a long career. I think he was nitpicked a little too much pre-draft as the No. 1 pick in the Q (especially considering what he played through).
