Super rare for teams to win Cups when their top guys are in their 30’s, it does not happen much.

You cannot have ALL older vets just like you cannot have ALL young guys.
It takes different guys in different roles all buying in....regardless of age.
People have this strange idea that guys are finished once their age starts with a 3. Its silly. Some guys fall off, others adjust their games, and others just play at the same level.
There is no one singular hard and fast rule to it all.
