What happened: The extension runs through the 2032-33 season and locks in a $7.2 million average annual value. Anaheim announced the deal as a move to keep the defenseman in Orange County ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
Why it matters: The move continues Anaheim's recent push to secure core pieces before the season, following Cutter Gauthier's six-year deal and a four-year extension for Washe. It also gives the Ducks another long-term number on the blue line as the roster takes shape for opening night.
By the numbers: By the numbers: $43.2 million total value, $7.2 million AAV, six seasons through 2032-33, and 14 NHL games played to date.
What to watch: The next checkpoint is where Luneau slots on Anaheim's blue line once the club sets its opening-night group. Preseason usage should offer the clearest read on how large a role the Ducks expect him to handle in 2026-27.
