And second I've asked multiple times for someone to provide evidence of this so-called rumor and not a single person on CP could provide any proof other then the morning show discussed it one day, and now a Damian Cox article (the worst hockey writer in the business).
Did they like playing with each other? Of course, who wouldn't' want to play in the NHL with their brother. Would an NHL agent make it a condition to a team ready to sign a player to a 25+ million dollar deal that their 13th forward brother HAD to be there or they don't sign? Of course not.
This isn't the Sedin's where both brothers were MVP calibre players and they can make demands like that. This is a top pairing D and a 13th forward making just over minimum salary.
Anyone who believes a professional athlete would pass up on millions of dollars and a chance to play top minutes would make it a condition to ensure he played with his brother needs to give their head a shake and accept a slap to the teeth..
This ''rumor'' needs to die a horrible death. More than anything it's offensive to both Hamilton players, who have showed nothing but class their entire tenure here, never complained, and played big roles in the community.
