Off-season

The Flyers coaxed Dick Cherry, who they selected in the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft, out of retirement by agreeing to a three-year contract.^[3]

Lou Angotti, the Flyers first captain, was involved in a three-team trade.^[4] The Flyers traded Angotti to the St. Louis Blues for Darryl Edestrand and Gerry Melnyk and the Blues subsequently traded Angotti to the Pittsburgh Penguins.^[4] Melnyk suffered a heart attack in training camp and retired to become a scout for the team.^[5]

The Flyers claimed veteran defenseman Allan Stanley in the reverse draft from the Toronto Maple Leafs.^[6]

Regular season

Defenseman Ed Van Impe was named Angotti's replacement as captain in November.^[1]

Led by Van Impe and the team-leading 24 goals of Andre Lacroix, the Flyers struggled finishing 15 games under .500.

Playoffs

Despite the poor regular season showing, they made the playoffs; however, they were manhandled by St. Louis in a four-game sweep. Not wanting his team to be physically outmatched again, owner Ed Snider instructed general manager Bud Poile to acquire bigger, tougher players.^[9]
