Marshawn Lynch, Shawn Kemp, Sue Bird among Seattle stars announcing Kraken expansion draft picks

"They're all so into the Kraken. This was the easiest thing to book. The Kraken are the talk of the town right now," said Steve Mayer, the NHL's chief content officer and the executive producer of the draft.
Most of the celebrities will appear at Gas Works Park in Seattle, where a crowd of Kraken fans will gather
. That gathering will include fans on boats decorated in honor of the new NHL team, as the venue is located on the northern shore of Lake Union.
There will also be a barge where much of the broadcast will take place, in view of the fans in the venue and those in their vessels.
