Halak to me seems like acquiring Hiller again. A goalie that is seemingly on the downswing of his career. He does have respectable numbers, but I wouldn't be thrilled in acquiring him.
MAF makes sense from a continuity standpoint. I really believe Parsons is going to turn into a decent goaltender. Gillies shows promise.
From the rumored 'young up and coming' and perhaps available options, I would be ok with Pickard as long as you bring back Johnson. Grubauer seems like a good bet as well. Probably a handful of decent bets out there, but there doesn't seem to be a 'sure thing' left. I wouldn't be adverse to the Flames acquiring 2 of these young guys and seeing if one can turn into a starter.
