If you're going after an unproven/high quality prospect goalie, he has to be young. Otherwise, you go for the surest thing you can. No more half measures. Make the position a strength for the team going forward.
Pay the price, go get Bobrovsky.

This is well and good, but I am of the opinion that the Flames need an in season solution. In this context Bobrovsky will not work becuase CBJ will want to sign Bobrovsky and wouldn't trade him until they were absolutely sure he would walk.
The only way that a trade will happen is if a team has two quality goalies, and an area they need to improve upon. So the Flames need to target teams with poor defence or depth scoring but with good goalies. Otherwise no deal would happen.
I admit SJ and Dell are a poor example of a team with needs, but teams are not going to trade a number one starter one month into the season.
