Hull Trade: Flames' Cup Dreams vs. Blues' Scoring Punch

About this episode

On March 7, 1988, the Calgary Flames traded Brett Hull and another player to the St. Louis Blues for Rob Ramage and Rick Wamsley. The Flames aimed for a Stanley Cup, while the Blues sought scoring punch. Ramage contributed significantly to Calgarys 1989 championship, but both players left after a few seasons. Hull, however, became a franchise icon in St. Louis, scoring over 500 goals and leading the league in goals for three consecutive years, despite never winning a Cup there. Calgary fans wonder about the potential dynasty if they had kept their young star.

On March 7th, 1988, the Calgary Flames traded young forward Brett Hall and another player to the St. Louis Blues for veteran, defenseman Rob Bramage and goal tender Rick Wamsley. It was a big move for both teams, with Calgary chasing a Stanley Cup and St. Louis looking for scoring punch. The Flames wanted more experience on defense and in goal to push for a title. They finished first in their division that season, but got swept in the playoffs by Edmonton. Still, the additions helped them win the Cup the next year against Montreal. Bramage stepped up big in Calgary's championship run, notching 12 points in 20 playoff games. Wamsley backed up the starter, but saw a little action in the postseason. Both players moved on after a couple seasons. Meanwhile, Hall lit it up right away in St. Louis, scoring six goals in his first 13 games there. Paired later with center-atom oats, he dominated, leading the league in goals for three straight

years and piling up over 500 goals with the U. Blues. Hall's 11 seasons in St. Louis made him a franchise icon, even without a cup there. Today, fans still celebrate his legacy, while Calgary wonders what a dynasty might have looked like if they kept their young star. A message from our sponsor supports today's story.
