Rasmus +Hanifin both make ~5 million. That's why, again, I think you need to move one of them for a different type of player. Someone in the Phillipe Myers mold. Maybe Yan Kuzetnetsov will be this guy, not sure. But I dont think we need to keep all three, and if one can be a major piece of a trade for a 1C or a big piece up front I say we need to do it.

Well if you want to get into their similarities and differences, shouldn’t Andersson be a keeper as he is essentially our only under 30yo RHed dman in the organization that is capable of playing regular NHL minutes?
Yelesin (25) and Kinnvall (23) are similarly aged and have shown little to nothing at the NHL level yet and are looking like bottom pairing players at best.
Meanwhile our left side:
Hanifin
Valimaki
Kylington
Mackey
Lerby
Kuznetzov
Poirier
If they are, as you say, essentially the same, Andersson should not be the one to go.
