John Chayka has barely been on the job a few months, and the Toronto Maple Leafs already look completely different from top to bottom.
A viral breakdown from Leafslatest this week called it one of the best offseasons in franchise history, and the list backing that claim up is genuinely long.
It's not just the roster either. This touches the draft, the Marlies, front office hires, and even coaching changes at every level of the organization.
New GM Chayka brought in Mats Sundin and Judd Brackett to the front office, while Jim Hiller takes over as head coach with Daniel Alfredsson and John Gruden joining his staff.
Andy O'Brien, Sidney Crosby's longtime trainer, joins as strength and conditioning coach, and Brad Werenka rounds out the coaching additions.
On the ice, Toronto added first overall pick Gavin McKenna, goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, and defenseman Darren Raddysh, the two biggest names of the summer.
Front office overhaul goes far beyond the roster
The depth moves matter just as much. Nick Paul, Jack Roslovic, Colton Sissons, Brandon Duhaime, Teddy Blueger, and Emil Andrae all joined the mix.
Roslovic posted 21 goals and 15 assists for 36 points in 69 games last season, exactly the kind of speed and secondary scoring Hiller has talked about wanting up front.
Zack MacEwen, Samuel Ersson, Alexander Bilecki, Ethan MacKenzie, and Zac Olsen round out the list of newer additions filling out the organization's depth chart.
The outgoing list is just as significant. Toronto moved on from former GM Brad Treliving, head coach Craig Berube, and assistant GM Hayley Wickenheiser, along with assistants Mike Van Ryn and Derek Lalonde.
On the roster side, Brandon Carlo, Joseph Woll, Nick Robertson, Matias Maccelli, Simon Benoit, Dennis Hildeby, and Henry Thrun are all gone from last season's group.

That's essentially a full reset, not just a tweak. New voices running the front office, a new coaching staff, and a roster that's been substantially remade in a single summer.
Bobrovsky alone represents a real gamble, coming off a rough season in Florida before signing in Toronto, while McKenna arrives with expectations most rookies never carry into training camp.
Whether all this activity actually translates into real results is still an open question that won't get answered until games start counting.
But there's no denying the scale of what's happened here. Very few organizations touch this many levels of the operation in one single offseason.
Will the Maple Leafs' massive offseason overhaul actually translate into playoff success?
