If there are available options, then why do the Flames not acquire one?

You're viewing it so absolute, when you fully know that's not the case. Let's take last year for example with Gulutzan. Many, including myself, were annemant that he isn't a good coach for this team, and Treliving came to the same conclusion at the end of the season. He may have thought so beforehand, but he didn't act on it until the opportunity arise that he could replace him with someone else. And that person didn't become available until the end of the season.
Treliving could be thinking the exact way as me with Smith, and is looking for the right deal, and right time to do it. Up until this point, it's fair to give Smith ample opportunity to see if he has a place on the regular rotation in the least, but as this season drags on, and games become more crucial, it's becoming more apparent that Smith isn't going to find his game back, and he can't play at this level anymore that is required for how good this team is.
It's worth the chance now to see if a lateral move at worse can't yield positive contributions.
