I'm quoting the last CBA because that's the text I have before me, but I have not heard that this particular clause was changed. It says that a team may not:

Have in its Averaged Club Salary in any single League Year amounts attributable to more than three (3) Retained Salary SPCs for Players that the Club has Traded to other Club(s)

If Markstrom (or any other player) were traded today with retention, the amount attributable to retained salary on that SPC for 2023-24 would be zero, because there is no remaining 2023-24 salary to be retained. Therefore, based on the rule as written, trades made at this time of year will only count against retention slots for future years.
