Draft picks

Philadelphia's picks at the 1970 NHL amateur draft, which was held at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal on June 11, 1970. The Flyers were without a first-round draft pick due to having traded it three years previously to the Boston Bruins for Rosaire Paiement. The Bruins used the pick, fourth overall, to select Rick MacLeish, who the Flyers would acquire seven months later in a trade with the Bruins.
