Erik Karlsson is soon going to be on that list, and possibly Drew Doughty. Whatever you think of that list, every single player on it was a 1st pairing player when they moved.

Rafalski, Redden, Bouwmeester, Shattenkirk, Suter, Weber, Johnson, Campbell, McDonagh, Phaneuf, Jones, and Hamilton have never won the Norris Trophy, and are therefore irrelevant to your original claim. That leaves you with five valid examples out of 17. Try not moving the goal posts.
Meanwhile, on the list of #1 centres who have been traded since the '05 lockout, you conveniently omit Thornton, Seguin, and Stastny, just off the top of my head.
