Tuesday’s Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett, features Danny Kelly from The Ringer and Tim Booth of the Seattle Times.  Puck chats about Luis Castillo not being traded this offseason, the U.S. vs. Canada round two Thursday, the NFL draft and why no NBA expansion buzz with Seattle, plus, it’s a big day for the CEO of the Puckett family…his wife.
