Going by the Memorial Cup 3 of the last 5 year the best team in the CHL has been from the Q.
2011 Saint John
2012 Shawiningan
2013 Halifax
The Q is not that bad.

That is a flawed analysis as looking at the top Q team does nothing to tell you about the average or median QMJHL. The Q is known for insane trade deadline deals to stack one or two teams. Most people seem to believe the avg OHL or WHL team is stronger than the average Q team.
Looking at the draft and how many NHL defenceman each league produces and you see the WHL and OHL miles ahead of the Q. I bet the Flames would slightly prefer him to play in the WHL or OHL.
