1970 NHL Amateur Draft
The NHL Amateur Draft in 1971, the annual talent contraction of the National Hockey League, took place on 11 June 1970 at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Canada in the province of Quebec instead.
A total of 114 players were taken in 14 rounds, although as of the tenth round, only the St. Louis Blues by her draft law made use of. The top draft pick Gilbert Perreault was able to meet the expectations and became at the Buffalo Sabres to guide players. But Toronto's first pick, Darryl Sittler, was one of the good choices of the draft. With Billy Smith the goalie was pulled in the fifth round yet, which should lead the New York Islanders about ten years later to a number of Stanley Cup victories.
