Set by Richard "night train" lane at 14 picks during his rookie season in 1952. With modern rules and schemes I just don't think anyone ever gets close.

I think Wayne Gretzky having more assists than the #2 all time points leader in the NHL is crazier

My favorite stat from Gretzky is that the highest scoring 2 brothers in NHL history is Wayne and Brett Gretzky. Wayne with 2,857 and Brett with 4

I always thought this one was kind of dumb just cause how many brothers actually make the league together? Gasol brothers don't even crack top 3 in NBA.

Oh it’s obviously dumb but especially funny for the discrepancy.

Looking forward to the Antetokounmpo brothers stat posts in 20 years

NHL weirdly has a lot of good players that were brothers, Staals, Sedins, some others I can’t remember, so it’s more impressive than it sounds. That being said if Luke ends up being as good as the other Hughes bros, that record is likely to break in the near future.

I mean the Staals, Sittlers, Sutters, and the Sedins (bonus points for being identical twins who played together) were all amazing pairs of brothers in hockey history

Koivu brothers were rather decent too I think.
