I go with the Hulls. The Howes were very good (Gordie one of the best ever), but the Hulls both were outstanding.
Now when you bend the rules of this topic to hockey family I think it's the Suters.
Who would you say the two greatest brothers are? The Richards?

If they played two on two hockey, my bet would be on the Howes.

No, he didn't. But he did win an All-Star game MVP.
I looked at his stats. Mark Howe certainly does not even deserve mention for the hof. He played his prime years in the high scoring 80s and rarely was over a point per game, and never cracked 30 goals, not even once. The only reason he gets any consideration around here is his last name.
Looking at just stats, when it comes to a defenceman, is a fool's ploy. Reality is that Mark Howe was a three-time first-team all-star. I believe he's the only three-time first-team all-star defenceman not in the HHOF. And his competition for those spots was pretty steep. (Howe was an all-star in 83, 86 and 87. Every defenceman named an all-star in those years is in the HHOF, except for Doug Wilson, who's one of the best not in the HHOF).I looked at his stats.
