why not?

Reinhart | Nyquist - <a href="http://public.tableau.com/shared/HW7NHF774?:display_count=yes" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://public.tableau.com/shared/HW7NHF774?:display_count=yes</a>
Bogosian | Green - <a href="http://public.tableau.com/shared/3T2K5BGYR?:display_count=yes" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://public.tableau.com/shared/3T2K5BGYR?:display_count=yes</a>

Two things...Red Wings are over paying according to the Own The Puck Hero stats, but Reinhart is a 1C talent and only 20. Bogosian is less talented offensively, but much better all around and is 4 years younger than Green. If the Wings need to upgrade the blue line, it's in all around game, not in one dimensional defensemen. So you take a hit on the offensive side by moving from Green to Bogosian, but get some of it back by adding Sproul and benching Ericsson. Adding to Smith's minutes should grow his offensive numbers. Lowering Kronwall's minutes should also keep him healthier there-by increasing his production both offensively and defensively. Playing DeKeyser with a better all-around defenseman should help his game too. He's doesn't have to be the best at either end of the ice. Some plays, he'll jump into the rush, other times he'll stay back in protection (to use a football term). 20+ goal scorer on the blue line? No. But I don't think Green was going to get back to that anyways. But I could see Smith with 10-15 and Sproul, Kronwall, DeKeyser with 8-12, and Bogosian with 6-10. Just on the low end, if they all put up that and 4 from Marchenko, that's 44 goals. 12 more than last season. A deeper forward rotation, which adding Reinhart helps, will give a more balanced attack, generating more offense from the blue line. Additionally, Smith, Sproul and Bogosian are better skaters than Quincey, Ericsson, and Green; also leading to more offensive generation.
