Because Giordano is, IMO one of the top all around defencemen in the league. And only a couple years removed from serious Norris discussions. IMO his play in the second half was as good as ever.
Maybe I'm underselling Barkov, but I don't think he's as good as those two guys.
eta: this isn't a Monahan v. Barkov comparison as your post suggests.

I trade Gio or Gaudreau for Barkov in an instant. Zero hesitation
I take that back, some hesitation on dealing our captain for sure. But from an asset value standpoint you do that trade any day. Outside of McDavid, Matthews I feel that Barkov is amongst the best of the rest young centres in the game. I put him right there with Eichel
