If Goodrow had only 1 year remaining I'd say maybe, but we'd still be using our last retention slot in a deal that is only netting us a 3rd rounder. We could probably use the slot to retain salary in a three-team trade and still swing a 3rd.
As it is though, Goodrow has 4 more years on his contract so we'd be trading 2.3m for 1 year for nearly 15m over 4 years and Goodrow isn't a good enough player to justify that. Each year it would essentially take up around 35% of the cap flexibility we got back from moving Karlsson.
I think NYR would be lucky to dump Goodrow's contract for only a 3rd rounder.
