The 3 D you mentioned are adequate to a little above average on a below average team . They are not top four on most contending teams .
If you disagree please show me where they would fit and who they would replace on some of the good teams.
Beacause these players look good sometimes with Calgary does top mean they are top 6 or top 3 on a contending or good team.

On the Hawks that are currently the class of the league their #5-6-7 forwards in TOI are Bolland Saad and Shaw.
Cammalleri and Hudler would obviously fit in ahead of these guys expect for Bolland. Glencross would compare well with Bolland.
On a pure hockey trade there would be no outrage if any of these top 6 players from the best team in the League got traded even up for one of the Flames top 6.
Keith and Seabrook are better than D than what the Flames have but Wideman and Gio for Haljmerson and Oduya ???? Not even close.
On The Hawks Brodie is not top 4.
Where the Hawks win out is that 5/6 Rozsinval and Leddy would each be in the Flames top 4.
The other elite team... the penguins ... currently has Sutter / Cooke as their # 6 forward.
Again Glencross fits in with these guys #6/7 guys..... Cammelleri and Hudler for the #5 guy Pasqual Dupuis???
on defense they brought in Murray to be their #4 replacing Letang..... Niskanen is also in their top 4.
Wideman and Gio clearly move into their top 4.
