For next year...Kipper looks like he won't be back.

Currently in the system:

Kari Ramo - Likely to be signed and with the Flames next year
Reto Berra - Signed. NHL or AHL
Joey Macdonald - UFA, hopefully not back
Danny Taylor - UFA, AHL deal
Barry Brust - Not actually Flames property at all
Laurent Brossiot - Needs to be signed
Leland Irving - UFA? He needs to move on
Joni Ortio - Signed, Finland
Jon Gillies - College

With Kipper, Macdonald, Irving gone...there's one more guy the Flames need to go after. Anton Khudobin (Bruins backup), stellar numbers (some will say its cuz who he plays behind) but he's a talented goalie. Plays like Timmy T. He's a UFA and hitting prime goalie years. Doubt he'll go somewhere he's a backup.

So...

NHL - Ramo & Khudobin (split the duties) (Ready for NHL)
AHL - Berra & guy like Taylor (AHL deal only) (1 year away)
ECHL - Brossiot & someone to back him up (ECHL/AHL deal only) (2 years away)
Euro - Ortio (2 years away)
NCAA - Gillies (3 years away)

Thats 6 goalies in the system. One of them should turn out ok, no? please!
