Can you name some examples, when teams decided to sign brothers or other family members of their stars?
Something like Jonathan and David Toews. One of them big star, the other one only so-so player. The question is, why they sign him? was something like "contract bonus" for Jonathan?
In the history we can find another examples. Alain Lemieux played 1 game for Pittsburgh Penguins in 1986/1987.
Keith Gretzky, the brother on Wayne Gretzky, was signed as a scout for Phoenix Coyotes. Accidentally, it was right after the Great One was signed as a head coach.
Marian Gaborik has also a brother. His name is Branislav Gaborik. He was also a scout for Minnesota Wild. Suddenly, when Marian left this team, Branislav was cut from the scouting staff.
Something similar in Ottawa Senators with Marian and his dad Frantisek Hossa. Ok, he was the head coach for Slovak national team. But as i heard, he had absolutely no clue, how to write scouting reports. Especially in English. Not so big surprise, after Marian left Ottawa, his dad also.
