You don't rush now IMO, either at the end of the year or draft time. At the end of the year if a team with a goalie they aren't playing is contending and wants to make cap space to add a player for the playoffs and is willing to trade the goalie, you do it. I also think that you let this team figure things out right now, either start to play well and succeed or fall flat and realize what the mistakes are and move on but also get a higher pick. Another reason I just don't like the idea of bringing in a goalie now is that you're essentially pinning all your hopes for the season on one guy and that's a lot of pressure. If the move is made at the end of the season or the off season, it's essentially a fresh start for them.
