Even though Cammy is better than those two, I'd trade him (and not necessarily at the deadline). He's got better trade value for future prospects.
Some people figure he's worth a 1st round pick + but I wouldn't be at all surprised if his market value, at age 31, is actually a second round pick. Stemp and Stajan definitely aren't worth a second round pic (well maybe they would be if it was a package deal... two for one).

CPers really like to undervalue Flames assets in trades.
Who cares if Cammalleri is 31? Jagr at 40 ended up being worth a 1st. Cammalleri might not be as amazing of a player as Jagr (was), but I would agrue that Cammalleri at 31 is going to help a team win in the playoffs more than Jagr at 40.
Stajan and Stempniak are showing that they can fill in anywhere from first line roles to third and would provide solid depth for any playoff team. Those kinds of assets do not generally go for cheap at the deadline.
