not disagreeing, but I do think that whole brother thing is overrated here. Tons of examples where players didn't follow their brothers. Just recently, the Carey brothers didn't sign as a "package deal" (as McKenzie had suggested), but signed with Phoenix (Greg) and Chicago (Matt) respectively. Trevor van Riemsdyk, a highly coveted college UFA, didn't sign in Toronto after this season, but went to Chicago instead. Just two recent examples where brothers could have easily landed on the same NHL team, but didn't. Doesn't have to mean anything though, the family factor could easily be bigger to Hayes for all we know.
