We know, we know: what in the world was Phil Di Giuseppe doing with Jeff Skinner more often than not in the second half of the season? Well...what if I told you that the combination was...actually...surprisingly not terrible?
Di Giuseppe’s numbers give the impression of a player that is just sort of “there.” He’s not a possession monster, he’s not particularly good or bad defensively, he doesn’t have much of a scoring touch. He basically exists to reliably eat up ten minutes of ice time per game and little more.
