not signing stralman and in turn signing boyle is the most infuriating recent example i have.

You mean the same Anton Stralman who needed 3(!) seasons with the Rangers to get 38 points but then after signing with Tampa had 39 in 1 season?
There was no indication he would be producing at all. Boyle had a history of adding points on the power-play and making that a lethal weapon.
Hindsight is 20/20 and nobody could have predicted Stralman to produce better than Boyle.
Stralman was very sound defensively. He was our best defenseman in the 2012 & 2014 playoffs, IMO.
