If it were any other year, I think Treliving might be inclined to ride out the year with the existing duo and then address the 2017-18 goaltending situation in the offseason.
But given that Las Vegas is required to pick 3 goaltenders in the expansion draft, there's bound to be some good value in the goaltender market at the trade deadline. If Treliving can find a quality goaltender at a reasonable acquisition cost who can carry the mail for the next few seasons, then the Flames should absolutely make that deal.
But I hope that addressing the 1st line RW situation is on the front burner.
