Connor Clifton News: Joins flightless birds in trade

Updated on June 29, 2025 at 3:16pm

Pittsburgh obtained Clifton and a 2025 second-round draft pick from Buffalo on Saturday in exchange for Conor Timmins and Isaac Belliveau.

Clifton is best known for his bruising style of play. He collected 208 hits and 116 blocks across 73 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. He'll bring much-needed muscle to the bottom of the Penguins' blue-line corps.
