Yes it would.
Minnesota hasn't been very good. When he played center for them he was behind Staal and Koivu, playing with leftovers on the 3rd line. He's clearly more comfortable and impactful at center, but the one season where he played more in the top6, he put up 56 points (2016-17).
That said, Coyle's 37pts last year puts him 60th for centers in the NHL. Those are 2nd line numbers despite playing 3rd line minutes with 3rd liners and rookies, and without getting much power play time. Coyle also gets more defensive zone starts than either Bergeron or Krejci.
I wouldn't call 37pts 2nd line center numbers, but for this shortened season he was around the top 60, which would be on the line of a 2nd line and 3rd line center. If he had 10 less points he'd have been fighting for a top 100 spot, on the flip side if he had 10 more points, it wouldn't have even cracked the top 35.
As for TOI, well Coyle had the 5th highest TOI among Bruins FWD's. In fact he averaged 23 seconds less per game than Krejci did. Which brings me to the next thing....
I think there's a strong case there that Coyle would be an excellent 2c if given the minutes and linemates.
Last season here were the top 3 linemates for Coyle and Krejci:
DK46 Top 3
1. DeBrusk
2. Heinen
3. Kuhlman
CC13 Top 3
1. Bjork
2. Heinen
3. DeBrusk
So both centers played with DeBrusk and Heinen, with the difference being Bjork w/ Coyle and Kuhlman w/ Krejci. Coyle is playing nearly as much TOI as our #2C and has similar linemates as our #2C. Based on that, is there really a strong case that Coyle would be an excellent #2C if given the minutes and linemates?
