I mean not a long list at all. I wouldn't even really bother drafting from that league.
Two of them were #1 picks.
One is a #3 overall pick
One is a #9 overall pick.
Three of them are from Halifax Mooseheads.
From just that stereotype- I would think Morin and Gridin will not amount to anything significant.

Not sure how you are defining impactful but you also have guys like Alex Lafreniere, Noah Dobson, Thomas Chabot, Nikita Kucharov (drafted out of Russia but then came over and played in the Q, and others.
It produces less players than the WHL and OHL but I think it's a mistake to completely ignore any league when it comes to drafting players. Saying something like " I wouldn't even really bother drafting from that league." is silly.
