What are the most trades a team has made in one season?

Or, what is the biggest face-lift a team has gotten from one season to the next? Like completely cleaning house or drastic culture change.

The 1998-99 Flyers made a lot of moves. This isn't even all of them. (list starts at deadline and goes backwards in time, stuck mostly to name players and left out most draft picks)

1) Future considerations for Berube.
2) Babych for Duchesne.
3) Forbes for Andersson and McCarthy.
4) Zubrus for Recchi.
5) Daigle for Kovalenko
6) Kovalenko for Burt.
7) Bialowas for Bonvie.
8) Svoboda for Dykhuis.
9) Gratton, Sillinger for Langkow, Renberg
10) Maneluk for Vopat.
11) Podein for Jones.
12) Klatt for a pick.
13) Lacroix for Zelepukin.

Sabres. I think they traded Enroth for winning too much at one point in probably the greatest tank by a team in the history of sports.

Assuming we're talking off-season to end of season, the 2003 off-season - end of 2004 season for the Colorado Avalanche was a doozie.

6/20/03 - Scott Parker to SJ -> Draft Pick
6/21/03 - Draft Pick to CHI -> Andrei Nikolishin
6/21/03 - Minor Leaguer to NSH -> Minor Leaguer
6/30/03 - Draft Pick to NSH -> Karlis Skrastins
7/3/03 - Stephen Reinprecht to BUF -> Keith Ballard
7/18/03 - Eric Messier, Vaclav Nedorost to FLA -> Peter Worrell, Pick
8/12/03 - Minor Leaguer to ANA -> Future Considerations
10/22/03 - Bates Battaglia+ to WAS -> Steve Konowalchuk, Pick
1/23/04 - Minor Leaguer to OTT -> Minor Leaguer
2/20/04 - Futures Package to CAR -> Bob Boughner
2/21/04 - Martin Skoula to ANA -> Kurt Sauer
2/26/04 - Draft pick to MIN -> Darby Hendrickson
3/8/04 - Futures Package to NYR -> Mathew Barnaby
3/9/04 - Tom Gilbert to EDM -> Tommy Salo
3/9/04 - Minor Leaguer to MIN -> Minor Leaguer
3/9/04 - Derek Morris, Keith Ballard to PHX -> Chris Gratton, Ossi Vannanen

Sure, the Selanne and Karina experiment didn't work out that year. But it didn't help that Pierre Lacroix basically gutted the entire team from the end of the 2003 season to the trade deadline of 2004.

I dont know the exact figure, but this record must belong to the New York Rangers when Phil Esposito was in charge. He traded so many players they took a new team-photo at the end of the season, since pretty much everyone was traded since the season had started. Somewhere around mid-80´s.

One team to note was that it was crazy that the 94 Rangers were in first place overall in the league and made 5 separate trades at the trading deadline.

Think this is the same season they also offered Kurri a contract, but he felt he was done. Not sure.
