Maybe they grab a few seats, but if you're upset but the lack of anything substantial from a federal NDP LPC coalition, where do you park your vote? Some may swing to the CPC but most of those voters will view them as a non starter.
A protest vote this cycle probably sees the Greens pick up a few seats, decimation of the LPC and NDP parties, and a rather large CPC majority. If it wasn't headed that way already.

I vote for the greens purely as a protest vote, because I live in rural Alberta and it ain't even close. That said, I voted differently when I lived in Edmonton knowing that my vote counted for something.
