Yes the rules specifically state that each club must expose:

iii) One goaltender who is under contract in 2017-18 or will be a restricted free agent at the expiration of his current contract immediately prior to 2017-18. If the club elects to make a restricted free agent goaltender available in order to meet this requirement, that goaltender must have received his qualifying offer prior to the submission of the club's protected list.

If you can't meet the requirements of the expansion draft Daly said it would result in the loss of draft picks and/or players.
I don't think it will be difficult to sign or acquire a goalie to expose though... tons of them out there.
Could even extend Johnson, just to expose him.
