I've always wondered how a team would do, say in a generation (25 years) with a hard rule where you can't sign a single player past the age of 34.
28 year old wants to stay ... 6 year deal
32 year old wants to stay ... 2 year deal
And then at 34 it's year to year.
A lot of turnover. A lot of players leaving before the team or the player want them too, but cap space and likely assets with players getting traded.
I think you need to take it decision by decision, truly, but it would be interesting to put a rule in place and see where it takes you.
