Is Boyle worth a 2nd round pick?  If Gauthier was excelling at his role, this trade may not have occurred.  Gauthier was a 2013 1st round pick who can now return to the minors for more development....which highlights the challenge around drafting.  Lots of potential but can the potential be realized.

I still am not overly enthusiastic about this trade but one can easily argue that Boyle is worth a 2nd round pick given that Gauthier as a 1st round pick 4 years ago is still not at the level with which Boyle has clearly performed and excelled.
