Would this have been a possibility in the FHL? Could the Falcons and Stickpile have pulled this off (disregarding the fact that the Falcons may have the least need for a yellow D)?

Eber-lasting
We all knew the Gladiators were poised for the future. I, for one, didn’t think the future would come so soon. I thought I would be happy to see the Cheapeake Cup paraded in Nova Scotia. Now I’m jealous of having a front row seat.
The Hounds told me earlier this season that one particular deal the Hornbeams made last year was strong. Its the deal that I think may have sent the Chesapeake up the Cabot Trail.
The then Gators had been pushing for Jonathan Toews for at least 2 years. Patrick Kane was holding him a spot in the Forest City dressing room. Whether it was a moment of weakness or brilliance, we will never know, but the Gators called around dinner and offered to send Kaner to Long Pond. The deal would be Kane and a 9th for Eberle and a 3rd. I was sure the deal would help in the short term, and was comfortable enough with the long-term prospects that I jumped at it.
Now, Kane is turning yellow and Eberle is the top-scoring green RW in the league. Good thing I have the FHL Cup to catch my tears.
