I've seen that about Gauthier as well. I really do not think he will be on the board when the Flames come back up. If he is though, I would happily take him with our second pick and then look for D with our third.
I don't like the idea of trading next year's second round pick in order to move up*. I expect that second round pick will be one of the more valuable ones and even if next year's draft isn't as deep as this one, it would be nice to have our 2nd for a change. Moving our STL or PEN picks won't really have as much impact as moving our own first rounder up.
*Unless trading that 2014 2nd rounder gets us MacKinnon.
