On Monday, Daniel and Henrik Sedinannounced that the 2017-18 campaign will be their final NHL season. They will hang up their skates for good following the last three games.
The two have spent their entire careers in Vancouver. Not only do the twins hold every major category in Canucks' franchise history, including games played, goals, assists, and points, the two are also one of the most iconic - and dominant - brotherly duos to ever grace the NHL:

While the Sedins will end their careers without their names engraved on the Stanley Cup, their trophy case isn't lacking hardware. Daniel has two major awards to his name, as he won both the Art Ross Trophy and the Ted Lindsay Award in 2010-11, while Henrik took home the Art Ross and the Hart Trophy in the season prior.
Here is how they compare to some of the all-time best:

It takes a dominant goal-scorer to have an award named in your honor, and that is the case with Montreal Canadiens legend Maurice 'Rocket' Richard. His brother, Henri, didn't fare too badly either, wrapping his 20-year career with 11 Stanley Cup wins.

Arguably the greatest goal-scorer of his generation, Bobby Hull's 610 career goals rank 17th all time. Brother Dennis possessed similar talent, and the skill set trickled down to Bobby's son, Brett, too.

The Mahovlich brothers defined winning, as Frank won six Stanley Cups - four with the Toronto Maple Leafs, two with the Canadiens - while Peter captured four in Montreal during the 1970s.

Anton and Peter were the dominant siblings of the Stastny clan, but brother Marian can't be forgotten either. He notched 294 points over a short, five-year career with the Quebec Nordiques and Maple Leafs.

Scott Niedermayer was so successful that he squeezed in a few years at the tail end of his career to join brother Rob in Anaheim to help the Anaheim Ducks to the Stanley Cup. Niedermayer won four Cups, a Norris Trophy, and the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.

The two brothers suited up for the Chicago Blackhawks during the 1940s with no shortage of accolades, as Doug led the league in goals in back-to-back seasons in 1943 and 1944, while Max was recognized as the NHL MVP in 1946.

Only 45 players have scored more than 500 goals, and Joe Mullen is counted among them. The New York native ranks behind only four American-born goal-scorers - Mike Modano, Keith Tkachuk, and Jeremy Roenick - in NHL history.

A devastating knee injury cut Pavel Bure's prolific career short, but his ability to find the back of the net can't be ignored. The Russian Rocket reached the 400-goal club in less than 700 games.
Born leaders, it's no surprise the Koivu brothers were chosen as captains over the course of their careers. Saku wore the 'C' for the iconic Canadiens, while Mikko leads the Minnesota Wild today.

The Courtnall brothers posted respectable careers, both cracking the 1,000-game plateau and finishing with near identical point totals. Geoff won the Stanley Cup with the Edmonton Oilers in 1988.

It's one thing for two brothers to make the NHL. But six? That was the case when it came to the Sutters. The bloodlines continue today, as Brandon Sutter is a teammate of the Sedins.

A legendary scorer and a legendary netminder. Phil Esposito notched 152 points during the 1970-71, a mark that would stand until Wayne Gretzky rewrote the record books a decade later. Phil was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1984, while Tony was added four years afterward.
