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.

Why would we have Stajan & Stempniak after the deadline?

There are really two questions for me...
A: Is Mike Cammalleri fine with being part of a rebuilding Calgary Flames team?
B: If yes, how much are his intangibles worth (If expressed in terms of Draft Pick currency)?
I say his intangibles because ultimately his tangibles aren't important because his tangibles are not effectively going to contribute to the next competative Flames team. How much he can help guys like Monahan, Sven, and Gaudreau become what we need them to be in the future will. If the answer to "A" is "yes" then I think I wouldn't give anyone the captaincy and I would have small exploratory talks about an extension, if at the deadline the return offered by teams does not exceed "B" then I'd extend him and give him the captaincy.
Ultimately I don't think the proper stars will align for Cammy to stay and I think he'll be dealt at the deadline.
