But what of those dearly departed friends – some fan favourites, some sadly not so?
A handful remain free agents, some have new clubs and one loanee even saw his contract terminated on his return from South Yorkshire.
Take a wander down short-term memory lane to see how Wednesday’s most recent departees are doing just weeks after leaving the club.
5. Joe Wildsmith
Another who was offered a new deal to stay on at S6.. and another who signed on at Derby. As things stand he looks likely to line up at the Rams' number one this season and will do so with the best wishes of the vast majority of Wednesdayites behind him - for all but two days of the season of course.

6. Saido Berahino
The man on the list who perhaps had the most up-and-down of all, Berahino was released at the end of his Owls contract and is yet to find a club, despite reports in the national media that he had been handed a handful of offers. Is known to fancy the Championship. Photo: Steve Ellis
7. Bailey Peacock-Farrell
Wednesday's number one last season while on loan from Premier League Burnley, the Northern Ireland stopper has made a return to Turf Moor. With Nick Pope out of the door he looked for a moment likely to battle it out with Wayne Hennessey for minutes, though Anderlecht keeper Bart Verbruggen looks set to sign this week.

8. Chey Dunkley
Released outright by Wednesday, Dunkley was linked with a handful of clubs and looked set to be joining Charlton Athletic, but signed on at League One Shrewsbury Town last month, where he'll face a return to Hillborough. Photo: Steve Ellis
