(to the tune of "If This Is It" by Huey Lewis and the News)
It's time for loaning, so work the phones and
Find some teams to say, "I'll buy your guys"
Get off the fence and, trade off Nick Jensen
A 2nd and a 3rd seems about right
I won't mind, if they bring him back this summer
But don't re-sign, 'til he's a rental first
Seek and find, as many picks as you can
I sure hope the Wings are makin' moves
If it's a fit, please let me know
If there's a good return, these players have to go
If it's a fit, get 'em out the door
If there's a trade to be made, they better hit the road
Now Gus is playin' great, but he's not stayin' late
That pending UFA needs to board a flight
After Panarin, I hope the market's bearin'
A late first rounder; that'd be outta sight
For a few nights, he'll go enjoy the playoffs
It feels right, to load up for the draft
Seek and find, as many picks as you can
I sure hope the Wings are makin' moves
If it's a fit, please let me know
If there's a good return, these players have to go
If it's a fit, get 'em out the door
If there's a trade to be made, they better hit the road
Some think it's scary, but it's temporary
I'd even trade Howard if the return is right
More games we might lose, but we want Jack Hughes
And Jimmy's comin' back when we hit July
Please don't fright; it's all about the rebuild
Use foresight; the bigger picture's clear
Seek and find, as many picks as you can
I sure hope the Wings are makin' moves
If it's a fit, please let me know
If there's a good return, these players have to go
If it's a fit, get 'em out the door
If there's a trade to be made, they better hit the road
If it's a fit, I gotta know
You better wheel and deal, these players have to go
If it's a fit, get 'em out the door
If there's a trade to be made, they better hit the road
