I didn't think he showed any improvement inthe 88-89 regular season, but have always acknowledged his improvement and good play in the 89 playoffs. If the Flames really valued him as an "all star" defenseman, they would have found a way to keep him rather than trade him for a 2nd round draft pick in the 89 draft.

You don't need to "acknowledge" his post season play in 89 when the entire fan base recognizes how he stepped up. Latter half of "87-88". Lol, those 12 games eh.
I can appreciate he wasn't top pairing as often as the other 3, but both badger and crispy played him top 4 regularly, and for someone who suggested Murzyn is his probable better
, well I'll take their hockey acumen over yours.
In addition to a return of a healthy Suter, the Flames as has been established thru the further years, began to liquidate tenured players as they had one of the most expensive rosters in the league. Starting with Ramage & Mullen. (Both traded for 2nds)
Anyway, this off-topic discussion has been appropriately distinguished. You stepped away from the absurdly embarassing notion of comparing Ramage to Murzyn, which as I explained more cordially in my previous post is apples/oranges.
It's god damn indefensible.
