It almost seems like Dolan got in the way with his star boners, especially in the Kane situation. The Rangers went so far away from what got them to within the brink of a SCF last year I'm not sure it was really a Drury thing. After an offseason where they overpaid for grit and got mocked from everyone, all of a sudden they went the talented merc route.
Sure you can't really argue with acquisition cost in either case (Kane or Tarasenko), but they were just like Shero on steroids, collecting inexpensive talent without any regard to how it fits as a team. Like Lou says, a team is an orchestra...you don't need five violinists.
