if you 100% know you'll land Shesterkin do it.
Expansion draft is coming and I might lose Meier for nothing.
I'm being offered 2e round pick (14th overall) for him.
Here's the prospects I could land with it. Please reminder this is Point only, keeper pool;
Morgan Frost
Ilya Samsonov
Gabriel Vilardi
Joel Farabee
Kieffer Bellows
Igor Shesterkin
Elvis Merzlikins
Dominik Kubalik
What do you think?

So this is more complicated than the info you gave us. If you trade Meier, you’ll obviously lose someone else in the expansion draft - who? Who are you protecting? How are your points scored? Just G+A, or multiple other things to score? What values to goalies have? I think Meier is damn good, young, and surely worth getting something for.

12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.
Stutzle, Sergachev
Keller, Doughty, Verhaeghe, ErikssonEk
E.Lindholm, Barzal, J.Gaudreau, Huberdeau, S. Wright
Gustavsson
Yes it's Points only, G & A = 1 point each.
Starters are 4C + 4LW + 4RW + 6D + 2G.
Bench if injuries occurs.
It's true I'm still losing somebody else.
I believe I'm going to lose Seguin and Sergachev/Klingberg.
We have to protect 15x players before losing 2x.
I won the last 2 years, trying to win couple more since my core is still young.
Center
I'm protecting McDavid, R Thomas & Draisaitl.
I leave unprotected Malkin, Seguin. I believe I'll lost Seguin so I'll still have Malkin as last starter.
LW
Protecting RNH, Panarin, JT Miller, DeBrincat & Connor so nothing left for him.
RW
Protecting Marner, Bjorstrand & Kucherov
Leaving Buchnevich, (Meier!), Oshie, Kyrou, Anderson, Tippett & Kunin unprotected.
D
Rielly, Pietrangelo & Hedman protected.
Sergachev, Klingberg, Weber, Letang, Gustafsson unprotected.
For sure I'll have Weber & Letang as starters. I might lose Sergachev or Klingberg. Perhaps both if he doesn't take Seguin.
G
Going to protect Jarry.
Holtby, Mrazek, Fleury & Murray unprotected.
Agree. Me, I might drop DeBrincat instead. But you’ll get more in trade for Meier, imo. 14th pick not a bad place. Worst case scenario, if you’re getting one of the 3 GKs you list - your team needs that.
Beyond GK, your team looks great.
