We all agree that in the playoffs, when Suter was lost to injury, Ramage performed admirably, and I'll concede that, in the playoffs, Ramage was ahead of Murzyn, who also played in all the games I believe. So, the point I was making stands - Ramage was a number 5 defenseman on the 88-89 Flames.

Yeah save the stats. I WATCHED them. Ramage was an all-start WHEN he was acquired. Due to riches on Flames D corps, he didn't repeat while here.
Murzyn was 6'5, and played 5'5. He was a turnover machine who was lucky to be ever be iced on those good Flames teams.
The top 3 was cast in concrete; Chopper, Suter, Sarge.
Leaving a MaCoun vs Ramage comparison, as they were both top 4 capable
BUT not interchangeable because they shot opposite of each other.
Often Ramage got top 4 minutes and sometimes MaCoun did too.
Murzyn shot opposite of Ramage and isn't his replacement. That's Nattress.
