Darche failed. Who care what Dobson wants, New York owned his rights for the next year, you qualify him, left him go to arbitration, and play here with his one year prove-it contract. You don't move him for two picks in a weak draft, and a third liner traded twice already. They likely get more in what is expected to be a better draft class, and at the deadline they likely get another top prospect like Lamoriello got for Nelson. Roy? Instead of firing Roy with Lamoriello, he never gave his season ending press conference, he's owed years/money on his contract, and likely had enough of Dobson so owners saved across the board.
Darch absolutely failed. No rush to trade Dobson for subpar return unless Roy demanded it.
