When you bunch together assets the return gets more underwhelming.
As an example. I recently moved Marchand for Meier, tippett and Jason Robertson. That is the kind of return you should aim for when moving a Malkin. Dont settle because you're feeling high on a single prospect.

Especially the bolded - soon as you combo stars you lose value. 99/100 times.
