Wamsley played one game in the 89 playoffs, and he was bad. Ramage had a good run, but by 1989, Hull was already putting up ppg performances in the playoffs for the Blues and in 1990, he had 13 goals and 21 points in 12 games.
Bozek was not part of the return from Hull, he was part of the package that went with Hull to the Blues from Calgary.
I mean theoretically you're right...you never know if was the exact chemistry that gave the Flames their cup, and Ramage for Hull might upset things. But in a vacuum it was a bad move, and the team had largely soured things with Hull before he left.
