Yeah I was going to say don't forget about my man Beaudin. He's a righty too, something we don't have a lot of.

Beaudin gets no respect but he's our 3rd best forward prospect and 5th overall.
Compher is closer to Rantanen and Jost then Greer and Beaudin.
With the center depth we have does that move him to wing?
that still leaves Mack, Jost, Soda, Compher ahead of him. I think it would be smart of all parties to give him time at wing. From everything I've read. Didn't see him live uninjured his offense is limited and seen as a bottom sixer.Our center depth is up in the air with Duchene possibly playing wing and Mitchell having only one more year

When talking prospects, there is obviously more to it than right now. Compher is on a different level. He and Greer might have a similar ceiling, but Compher is further ahead in his development, and has a higher probability. Compher is more likely to reach the NHL and his ceiling and get there sooner. Beaudin really doesn't belong in the conversation. Compher is more skilled, more assertive and is as good or better than Beaudin in basically every area minus size.
Beaudin absolutely does. He's not just bigger than Compher, he plays a smarter/more creative game with the puck & as a playmaker. Compher's going to be really nifty for us, but Beaudin has a lot of Soda to him.
All three bring different things, so different people will have different preferences amongst them once they're in the NHL; but all three can have valid arguments to be the best of the bunch if they develop well.
You are really underselling Compher. Dude is an amazing playmaker and has a very high IQ. Tremendous passing skills and just as good vision/awareness. Much more potential than someone like Yeti, who seems like a fair comparison for Beaudin.
