The Ramage/Wamsley trade was at the deadline in 1988, not 89.

Ramage was also one of only four former first-overall picks to ever play for the Flames (Bridgman, Nolan, and Hamrlik being the others). He also has the distinction of being the first-overall pick in the powerhouse 1979 draft where three years worth of players became draft eligible when the league lowered the draft-eligibility age from 20 to 18.
