I might post more later but for now I just want to say something regarding this:
I need another star or two to compete for silverware but the extra year on aging really changes my outlook quite a lot in terms of being more patient in my approach.
While aging has been put back to 34, I don't think the entire aging process has been put back a year. By that I mean this season's 34yo ages just like last season's 34yo, and so on. I think the only change is that 33yos don't age at all. Not what I was expecting but not contrary to what was in the news. So while a change in approach is necessary, it won't be a big one. Though to be fair I'm judging based on a sample size of two.
