I'm my opinion, given his age and where we are in the competitive cycle, the team would be better off leveraging his value to build assets for the future.
That being said, I wouldn't be upset if we did end up keeping him. I appreciate his work ethic and willingness to dive head first into the fight, and we're probably not worried about cap space for the next 4-5 years.
Keeping guys like him around to mentor the younger players is a key part of any rebuild, and you can always trade him in a few years, if need be.
Just seems like a bit of a waste, having a very good player toiling away outside of the playoffs for the next 4-5 years.
