During the 1987-88 season, the Calgary Flames finished first in the NHL with 105 points but were swept by the Edmonton Oilers in the Division Finals. In a pivotal trade on September 6, 1988, General Manager Cliff Fletcher acquired Doug Gilmour and others from the St. Louis Blues, leading to the Flames’ Stanley Cup win in 1989. Gilmour scored 26 goals and 85 points that season and played a crucial role in the playoffs. Although he was later traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, his impact on the Flames remains significant.
