Not too many 18 year olds play in the AHL, but it isn't unheard of. Kevin Fiala, Moritz Seider, David Pasternak, and Quinton Byfield are a few recent and current NHLers that took that route.
Maybe the Flames want to see him in camp and let him play a few AHL games to see where they actually want him.

My guess is if he has a strong camp and if he's physically mature enough they'd prefer him to be in the AHL than the QMJHL.
Even if just for a part of the season, and then assign him to the Q later on.
