Baertschi and Brodie are no brainers. No reason to trade them.
Giordano and Glencross really aren't the type of players that should be untouchable. The both play hard and are nearing 30. The Flames through any reasonable projection won't be contending for at least a couple of seasons, probably more. How good of players will 33 year old Glencross and Giordano be? They are secondary pieces now so there's potential that they'll be fringe pieces then.
It doesn't make much sense to have them as untouchable, unless Glencross just would not agree to be traded but untouchable seems like the wrong word.
