With Rimouski, he'd be there for the Memorial Cup, and I think that would be great for his development. Outside of that, I'm not sure the Flames have a great recent history with their prospects in that league.

Historically, the Flames have rarely dabbled in the Q to be honest. The last 4-5 drafts they have waded into the waters a bit more and really have done pretty well.
Pelletier is a good young player that should turn out and Morin, Poirier are also looking promising. You can't really hold a bust that was a bad pick in general in Emile Poirier and some middle to late round picks against them as failures.
The biggest thing is that a guy like Gridin is in a decent program and is going to see a ton of ice. He's on a great trajectory and it's unlikely the Q is going to be his downfall at this point.
