Furness Show 3-6: Breaking Kraken news, Caitlin Clark and Thomas Drance

The Ian Furness Show

BREAKING NEWS: The Kraken trade Alex Wennberg to the NY Rangers for a second rounder in 2024, a 4th in 2025 and retain 50% on Wennberg's salary. As we look back on the NFL Combine and ahead to the NFL Draft Ian remarks on how difficult it is to scout a franchise quarterback. We listen back to Kurt Warner's evaluation of Geno Smith and Drew Lock. What does it tell us about the Seahawks' future at that position? It tells Ian that the two QBs they have are placeholders for the future - and this is the draft to find your new guy. Caitlin Clark becomes the all-time leading scorer in college basketball history, among both men and women. She is the only person in team athletics that can sell out a stadium - so why are we comparing her to Pete Maravich? Ian says she should stand on her own. Plus, if ESPN and FOX are trying to put together an NIL deal to keep her in college...where do we draw the line? Thomas Drance, The Athletic joins to give us his take on the Alex Wennberg trade. He takes us behind the scenes of the NHL trade deadline, as he's experienced it from both the PR and journalistic side of things. He explains that draft picks are such a common currency in NHL trades because of the lack of risk. The Wennberg return from the Rangers makes perfect sense to him.
