i'm definitely a proponent of always exhausting "going younger" in any situation. even more so when the AAA guy is *mostly developed. that doesn't preclude other options. at least 2-3 years needed of high quality return to go older.

i'll live with 1/2 -1 season of sub-potential ratings current ability. if i can stash them 7-8-9 in order i'd go ~2+ years without a 2nd thought when needed.

trade that older player in front of him before they lose value. you bring in a couple prospects and promote the AAA guy... or trade both for an upgrade on the AAA guy etc etc.

always have to pay more in trades... still better to consolidate duplicate players into upgrades or less-developed, good prospects. you pay extra but it's a 100% loss when they simply leave for FA or rule 5 etc.
