That said, yeah, I could see that happening.
Cammalleri probably wants to go cup-chasing, and if he keeps playing like he has, he could bring back really good value.
It's great to have a center that can shelter the other centers somewhat, and I don't think Stajan will have inflated value, but his lack of physicality is kind of a problem. So if somebody makes a good offer, no reason to turn that down.
Stempniak could really go either way. He's a nice depth guy who could have inflated value, but depending on who else is on the market and how many other guys we move, he could easily end up staying, as he's pretty valuable for us too.

I think the same way. However, I don't think Feaster will sit idle in the off-season and not get some quality character vets in to replace them. Need to hit the cap floor at any rate. Giordano is here for leadership (as is Wideman I would say). Glencross and Hudler will also be around. McGrattan will most likely be there too, and seems like a guy that helps hold that room together well.
Cammalleri will be tough to replace, but that is just part of the rebuild. Stempniak had a bounce-back 2 years here - many didn't want to see him return after his first season. Hopefully they will be able to find another player that requires a change of scenery and a chance.
