I also can't recall the last really good prospect to come out of the QMJHL. Mackinnon has been alright, but I think most expected more from the no. 1 overall. Drouin has had trouble adjusting, same for Mantha. Those were all from 2013. From 2014, Ehlers looks ok and there weren't even many high picks from the Q in 2015. The question for me is, are the QMJHL top prospects as good as their stats suggest, or are they just playing against inferior competition?

Good point that I didn't really consider. The full combination of his skill and size is something that Flames could really use though. Haven't watched enough of him to really know but it looks like he at least uses his size and the Flames could definitely use some more physicality.
