Vernon was good and certainly was crucial in the 89 run to the Cup.
However, skill wise, he was not in the same category as Kipper. Kipper was elite, both as a Flame and as a goalie in the NHL.
In fact I think skill wise, one could argue
1. Kipper
2. none
3.none
4. none
5. Vernon
6. Lemelin
7. the rest
