The writing was always on the wall but asking him about it hours after it happens a reaction like this should be expected.
He'll get over it. Everyone does. Just maybe not in the next few hours.

We’ve seen lots of brothers in this league play with eachother and move on to other teams. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard any player seem so bitter about his brother moving on to a different organization who by the way will be getting way more games and more ice time. I think Dougie should have at least acknowledged that. Based on his reaction, I can see where all the stories and articles are coming from. This certainly doesn’t dispell the rumors. All I can say is that as a professional hockey player who is getting paid millions of dollars, his play better not drop off because we’re gonna be in tough the rest of the season with how close the standings are and we need everybody on their A games.
