Chayka should do/has to do really well with Vrbata. He is almost the perfect gamble in light of this season's performance, his experience and his salary. Fingers crossed.

So if some team offers a first for Vrbata, but Shane Doan requests a trade what do you do?
Only one retention spot left right?

Tell Shane that it's nice to want things. If you're not going to make it easier for management by telling them ahead of time, get lost.

Accommodate Doan. I'm sure I'm in the minority but I think he's earned the right to decide if he wants to get traded or not pretty much whenever he wants.

I'm all for letting him write his ticket out of town at the expense of the return on his deal (Ie. Doan for 7th rndr and/or FC) if that is his desire.
No way I turn down a 1st rounder and cancel another deal to accommodate him leaving. Not the same thing.

Short of straight up adding value to him or taking negative value, I'd accommodate him, even in the above situation. He's done and meant so much for this franchise he deserves it IMO.

Nope. Not giving up a first so I can also pay someone to let Shane Doan play there. Taking a way a deal for a 1st and retaining IS negative value. I'd give him away for nothing, but I'm not crippling other aspects of roster management to accommodate him. Especially to the tune of a 1st.

Waiting until the very last moment is insulting to the franchise when you're the captain and a grown ass man with a family.
I think it would take them trading Smith to get him to want to leave and we know that's not happening.

Fair enough, and for literally any other player in franchise history I agree, just not Doan.
It's extremely unlikely for all the reasons you listed above. It would be very undoanlike, and I don't see it happening, but as I've said before I think what he's done for the team means he can do pretty much whatever.

Patrick Eaves got a conditional first. If Vrbata doesn't bring back a 1st rounder, he's bringing back a package of similar value.
Eaves already had his playoff beard grown. That's a lot of playoff mojo. 
Eaves + Beard= Conditional 1st
Beardless Vrbata= ????

Absolutely not. You do what's best for the team and take the first. It's really not even debatable.

Maybe not a 1st on its own, but a package worth a 1st I could easily see for Vrbata. Such as a 2nd and a prospect with a current value of around a 2nd.
Eaves contract a little easier to accommodate. Temper expectations. 2nd rounder or multiple 3rds type deal.

I'm thinking we get a 2nd for him, resign him in the summer, then get another 2nd for him next deadline.
Any interest in Sobotka (blues) or Nikushkin? Both have to be protected despite being in KHL. Cost is pennies on the dollar prior to expansion.
