To Columbus: Mike Smith, 2019 first-round pick, Jon Gillies or Tyler Parsons I hate seeing a 2019 1st AND one of our goalie hopefuls going the other way, but Bob here would be absolutely unreal. I think if you can do anything that keeps this current roster together and upgrades Smith you're pretty tempted to do it.

If the Flames could give Smith, Gillies and the 2019 1st for Bobrovsky, I would do that without a thought because getting Bobrovsky probably pushes the Flames' 1st round pick into the 20s (or 30s?!?). A 1st round pick that late is fairly similar in value to a 2nd round pick.
Also, Bobrovsky just turned 30. He is 30 years and 43 days old. That is relatively young for a goalie. For example, Cam Talbot is generally considered fairly young in Edmonton and he is 31 years and 150 days old. Likewise, Antti Raanta is barely younger at 29 years and 174 days and Frederik Andersen is almost exactly one year younger at 29 years and 31 days old.
Edit: Per the above comments, I agree and was assuming the Flames would first sign Bobrovsky to a deal.
