Not really no
I've been thinking of offering this trade and want to get some thoughts
I give:
Kucherov and Binnington
I get:
Shesterkin and Caufield
The other owner has Vasy too, and is looking to retool
My goalies could use some suring up, and I have a few other ppg players (but none on Kucherovs level)
Does this seem like a fair offer?

I prefer Kuch and Binnington over Shesterkin and Caufield. I’d keep what you have
The offer is reasonable, and I do like it for you, because I think Binnington is the worst talent in the deal.
However, you may have to settle for Vas if he coutners.
Want a Signature? Go to Settings, and you'll find Edit Signature down the list on the left.
I’d make the offer and see what happens, I think he will decline though. Shesterkin’s value is high right now and people have worries about kucherovs heath.
I offered and he didn't go for it. I asked for whichever of Vasy or Shest he was more willing to move. Kuch was a non starter, age and injury history put him off, which is fair
Luckily I have Jake Oettinger, Jordan Binnington, and Logan Thompson at G, so I'm not destitute

You goal tending is fine. He's over valuing his clearly. Goalies are so volatile people might be over valuing Shest at this point.

I wouldn’t trade a ton for Kucherov at this point for the same reasons.

Shesterkin is far and beyond way better than Binnington. Hell, Shesterkin is probably the best fantasy goalie in the NHL.
Kucherov is a top 10-15 fantasy player, but still doesn't think he gives a team the impact that a Shesterkin has on a team. Caufield is a player who is young and has a lot of promise for fantasy impact.
If I was the owner of Shesterkin and especially if I had the leverage of also having a Vasilevskiy on my team as well, I would be looking for a player in return like Makar or Draisaitl.
Keep in mind the other GM is in a bit of a pickle where if he has both Vas and Igor it's overkill. As such, they need to be forced to trade one for less than what would otherwise be top value, or at least to do so if they want to trade one now, versus later in the season when goalie values skyrocket. They need to realize this and revamp the offer to be slightly more in favor of the other team. Either that, or they wait.

I really think you win in this trade. You get a player in Cole Caulfield who is an up and coming talent. He isn't going to get you 90 points like Kucherov, but it is possible that he could get 60 points. Now the difference between Shesterkin and Binnington, I think is huge. I think Binnington is nowhere near the talent of Shesterkin. I would make this trade.
