There is a nifty guide here: NHL Bloodlines showing the next generation of young NHLers or brothers coming up. Looking at it I saw Milan Hejduk and Mike Knuble's kids are draft picks this year. However what caught my attention was a couple of players have brothers coming up that are at least a decade younger than they are. Vlad Namestnikov's brother Max is 12 years younger than him!

Liam Öhgren's dad, Andreas, is a pretty popular PT.

Guys like Landeskog, Bäckström, Bratt, Kronwall, Rakell, E.Lindholm, etc. have trained under him.

Throw a rock at this draft class and you probably have at least a 15% chance of hitting someone who is a cousin of Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald

(just so everyone knows, this is not actually true)

Reading this list made me feel very old.

Even a career minor league player like Eric Healey, having played only two NHL games, I remember because that was the year (the 05/06 season) when I first started editing players on EA's video games.
