True is RFA so might count as one of the 2.

Probably very little.
If all you care about is the list of names, you could just wait until they're announced and not waste your time watching the show. If you're planning on watching the show, you probably care about the entertainment, discussion, and analysis too, so you'll still tune in for that.
Plus, it's something to watch on a night with not much to watch on tv.
Also, keep in mind that the people who are following along with every leak on Twitter is a very small percentage of the overall NHL fan base. For most people, they'll find out who was taken when they watch the show -- if they even care enough to watch the show.

Well at least they won’t be competing for first in the division this year.

Way way to early to declare that.
Francis is going to have 30ish million dollars in cap space AND a full roster to play with this weekend.
He could do some real damage moving forward.

With all of their other picks I’m surprised they didn’t take Kylington

So far.
Not likely to be the case a week from now.

Maybe not first, but good chance on being a playoff team.

How do you know? Sign Landeskog and Hamilton, acquire Eichel, trade a few of the assets acquired today for an upgrade or two... seems very doable.

Isn't Driedger one of the UFA signings?

They definitely have the assets to get Eichel. A really high pick, one of Gourde or McCann plus a D out of their collection, plus one of the picks they have no doubt acquired.

It would appear so.
Which also means that Calgary wins the award for freeing up the most cap space for next season. Bring on Landeskog!

I wonder if the play is for Eichel. They lack center depth at the moment and would have plenty of room.

Better yet, they've stolen the Flames' captain and the Oilers' best defensive D... next stop on the "hey pacific division, we're here, #### all of you" tour? Offer sheeting Elias Pettersson!

An offer sheet for Petterson would be a dream come true.
