The problem I see is that if we keep Cammi, then we need to look at shipping out some other veteran forwards to make room for rookies.
Then after the deadline we try to deploy something like this:
Cammalleri-Backlund-Jones
Baertschi-Stajan/Monahan-Stempniak
Glencross-Knight-Gaudreau
It gets tricky because we would really want to balance out the lack of size between Cammi, Sven and Johnny hockey. I would still do it though if Cammi wanted to re-sign for a resonable price.

If we do decide to hold onto Cammalleri, I can't see how we let the deadline pass without dealing Stajan and Stempniak. If they're having respectable seasons to that point, those are two 2nd round picks we can grab from contending teams.
