Keeping an aging star can preserve experience, leadership, and fan interest, but it can also affect salary space and roster development. How should clubs decide when to continue building around an established star and when to begin preparing for a new generation?

I think clubs should look at the player’s current performance, salary, injury record, and how much younger players are developing. Experience and leadership are valuable, but holding onto a declining star for too long can limit the squad. Finding the right balance between respecting the veteran and planning ahead is important.
