If someone wanted to make a quick buck in the lobby of the Maple Leafs hockey office, just peddle T-shirts bearing “Summer 2015: I Survived The Shana-Plan.”

One of the most ambitious and unorthodox remakes of an NHL team’s power and engineering grid is just about complete. The details of who’s in, who’s out and who-does-what might require a couple of extra pages in the annual club guide.

It’s now a 50-plus masthead, including management, coaching, scouting, medical and public relations people. More than 20 of the personnel are new to their jobs, headlined by general manager Lou Lamoriello and coach Mike Babcock and staff (including recent hire Jacques Lemaire as special assignment coach), while a few underlings have changed assignments.

On paper, it’s close to, if not the biggest off-ice roster in the league, about double the size of the division rival Ottawa Senators.
