The Anaheim Ducks and defenseman Tristan Luneau have agreed to a six-year extension through the 2032-33 season, the club announced Thursday.
Published reports peg the deal at $43.2 million.
Luneau, 22, received the lucrative pact despite having played in just 14 NHL games. He had two goals and two assists in brief stints over the past three seasons. He scored a goal in his lone game with Anaheim last season.
“Signing Tristan to a long-term contract was a priority as we see him as a top-four defenseman for years to come,” Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek said in a news release. “Getting the deal done before the season started was a key part of our planning for now and the future.”
A second-round pick by Anaheim in 2022, Luneau has stood out with AHL affiliate San Diego over the past two seasons.
He had nine goals and 52 points in 59 games for San Diego during the 2024-25 season and had 10 goals and 41 points in 70 games last season. The 93 combined points were third-most among AHL defensemen over the past two seasons.
