In all honesty, despite the fact that you're a Vancouver fan, I think the Canucks are the ones that reject this trade.
Blais has been a non-factor in NY, but Dermott hasn't wowed either. Considering the Rangers could hopefully pull off the Capfriendly favorite deal (Kulikov for a 3rd) to bolster the D, they would probably want to hold off on swapping Blais for Dermott. Can move Blais elsewhere with a Pick, or bury him in Hartford.
As far as the remainder of the deal, you get your 1st Rounder. But Henriksson has REALLY struggled. Not only this Season, transitioning to a North American style rink. But even his last couple years in Sweden were lackluster.
Rangers take this trade all day everyday (with or without the Blais/Dermott combo). But I actually think Vancouver could get more.
I even offered a proposal of Kuzmenko for a 1st Rounder (the better of the 2 we have) and Jaroslav Chmelar, who has been trending upwards.
