Hey Mr. Paul Holmgren...

Here's one final song for the day. While I don't believe Forsberg will be moved at these meetings I think many teams will be kicking the tires and floating ideas out that will be revisited in a month or two. The more time that goes on there will be more suitors for Forsberg as teams will not need as much free cap room to make a deal. Unless he really wants to stick around in Philly beyond this year, it is almost a certainty that Forsberg will move before the deadline (although I'm sure a deal won't be strongly considered until they have a full-time GM in place).

Hey Mr. Paul Holmgren, trade Peter Forsberg to me,
I've got many prospects and first round draft picks too
Hey! Mr. Paul Holmgren, trade Peter Forsberg to me,
If you put him on the block then I'll keep callin' you.

Though I know you're only interim and not in the job for long
Team losing all the time
Boss left you blindly there to stand but still not permanent
Your slumping team amazes me they have no one to score
I have a goalie for you
And I'll even take Hatcher and his minus seventeen.

Hey Mr. Paul Holmgren, trade Peter Forsberg to me,
I've got many prospects and first round draft picks too
Hey! Mr. Paul Holmgren, trade Peter Forsberg to me,
If you put him on the block then I'll keep callin' you.

Take my slumping players that I know will turn around
My team just needs a boost, my centers not so sound
My wingers gripping sticks, wait for passes that never come
To be so frustrated
I'm ready to trade anyone, I need to make the playoffs
To save my own hide, take a look at my prospect list and pick
I promise to go for it and make you a hero.

Hey Mr. Paul Holmgren, trade Peter Forsberg to me,
I've got many prospects and first round draft picks too
Hey! Mr. Paul Holmgren, trade Peter Forsberg to me,
If you put him on the block then I'll keep callin' you.

Though you might hear cryin', screamin', swearing madly at my team
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just the fans havin' fun
And for the losing soon will end and we'll be winning
And if you trade me Forsberg it would be a real big help
To my team's big turnaround, it's just a matter of time
I would pay him any amount, he's the the center that we need
To be successful

Hey Mr. Paul Holmgren, trade Peter Forsberg to me,
I've got many prospects and first round draft picks too
Hey! Mr. Paul Holmgren, trade Peter Forsberg to me,
If you put him on the block then I'll keep callin' you.

Take my first round draft pick and my second rounder too,
I'll put a package that's a great, far better then Muckler and Brian Burke
The men will try to rip you off, out to take your player
But not to help you rebuild
Yes let's talk until we get it done and save both of our jobs
The fans will love you most and you may even become a full-time GM
With the memory of losing and Peter's salary off your books
Let you forget about this losing until tomorrow.

Hey Mr. Paul Holmgren, trade Peter Forsberg to me,
I've got many prospects and first round draft picks too
Hey! Mr. Paul Holmgren, trade Peter Forsberg to me,
If you put him on the block then I'll keep callin' you.
