Heading into the Feb. 25 trade deadline, every team – whether they are a contender, a seller or a Western Conference team that is deeply flawed but based on an optical illusion is vying for one of the last playoff spots – has a wish list.



Top-four defenseman. Veteran depth down the middle. Artemi Panarin to change his mind and re-sign in Columbus … well, that might just be one team.



But the reality of the market is a whole different obstacle. Is a general manager willing to spend a first-round pick and/or a top prospect to bring in a rental? Can you gamble on a playoff run and then let your unrestricted free agent leave on July 1 for nothing?



Here is a look at what every team needs, who would fit that mold and how realistic it is that a trade will be made.
