As of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, the Flyers have selected 54 goaltenders and 368 skaters (forwards and defensemen) in the Amateur, Entry, and Supplemental drafts since their first draft in 1967. As of the completion of the 2008–09 season, 161 Flyers draft picks have appeared in at least one NHL game. The Flyers are one of the few teams to have never earned the right to draft 1st overall by means of having the worst record in the league. The only 1st overall pick the Flyers have ever used was in 1975, when the defending cup champion Flyers traded up for Mel Bridgman.
