This is How Bad Can I Be? from The Lorax rewritten to illustrate just real bad trades that get progressively worse as they go.

How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
I trade McDavid for a load of crap
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
Evander Kane goes for a bad contract
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
Ekholm fetches even less than that
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
How bad can I possibly be?

Well, it’s Hyman to the Kings (Hyman to the Kings)
That gets a real bad return
Called Edler and Petersen (Edler and Petersen)
When am I gonna learn
That Nuge straight for Boosh
Is always a trade I would lose
And the benefit that doesn't
Well the benefit that doesn't
Winds up in someone else's p-p-p-p-pocket
(rocket, rocket, rocket, rocket, rocket)
I'm just sayin'

How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
Package up Nurse and Cody Ceci
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
Sending Draisaitl right over to Philly
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
I just want to draft Adam Fantilli
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
How bad can I possibly be?

Trade the rest of the defencemen (rest of the defencemen)
For Marcus Foligno and Reaves
Then we traded Yamamoto (traded Yamamoto)
To the Toronto Maple Leafs
So I'm diminishing my legacy
I'm diminishing my job
I'm diminishing what’s left behind
Everybody out there, take care of yours
And me? I'll take care of
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine (Change that bottom line)

Let me hear you say Skinner’s chicken dinner (Skinner’s chicken dinner)
Campbell’s soup brewin’ (Campbell’s soup brewin’)
Complain all you want, I don’t ever, ever, ever know what I’m doin’
Come on how bad can I possibly be?

How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
I'm gettin’ rid of most of it
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
Just look at me getting’ these picks
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
This will make you say ‘what the frick?’
How ba-a-a-ad can I be?
How bad can I possibly be? Let's see
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?)
All the trades are detrimental
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?)
And it’s driving you all mental
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?)
You can call it experimental
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?)
And the comments are judgemental
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?)
Who cares if these methods aren’t gentle?
(How ba-a-a-ad can I be?)
This is lacking instrumental
How bad...
How bad can this possibly be?
