The flames have not had a good start, which is pretty much the entire premise of this post/ list existing- to target a potential impact player from another slow starting/struggling team that could come in and change the fortunes of our forward core. Even if Calgary was in the bottom 3 in the Pacific, I wouldn't include them because this list is to identify trade targets. We clearly can't trade with ourselves.
More towards the point (I think?) of your post, I agree and believe that all players you listed should be considered in trades if it actually improves this team. I find it doubtful that we would get good enough value out of a bennett trade to make it worthwhile, and I don't think we have a similar D-man to Hamonic that could fill that void- but that's not to say I wouldn't trade them under the right conditions.
Gio-Johnny-Mony-Lindy-Tkachuk-Rittich are my untouchables (at least until the end of season.)

I would probably consider throwing
Hanifin, Andersson and
Valimaki in that group if only because of their potential and importance to our blueline, now and in the future.
